Very hard to predict!!!! It is not a definite 3-5 years
How Long Can You Live From Leukemia?
The average amount is about 3-5 years
Your question is not specific because you don't give details,there are many types of leukemia.
In a patient with leukemia the bone marrow makes abnormal white blood cells, called leukemia cells.leukemia cells don't die the way normal cells do ,and then they take tha space of normal white blood cells which then will be unable to perform their normal work.
Leukemia can be acute or chronic,the acute form killing faster as you should understand.
There are 2 acute forms of leukemia: Lymphocytic( also called lymphoblastic) frequent in children,and myeloid form and 2 chronic forms: Lymphocytic and myeloid .
So depending on the stage of evolution at the diagnostic time and the type of leukemia,you can' t tell the survival time.There are many methods of treatment including chemotherapy,radiotherapy ,stem cells tranplant...the treating doctor should give you more details abt options and the pronostic.
