As of this year, I am celebrating 5 years of remission from ALL T-cell. I was 50 yo at diagnosis and went into remission early (with no MRD), although I began treatment with pretty advanced symptoms. This won't be easy, but a cure is achievable. I had to endure aggressive chemo (Hyper CVAD), multiple lumbar punctures, various bone marrow biopsies and a haplo stem cell transplant, but it was all worth it to achieve "cured" staus. My faith gave me the confidence to battle through this, and God has called me into the ministry, an unlikely result had I remained in my previous vocation. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing, despite the treatments and the persistent fatigue I now endure. That said, you can do this, whether you're the patient or the caregiver. Trust in God's providence. As hard as it is to see this, there is a plan in all of this.
My partner is 39 yo with ALL (Philadelphia negative). She is currently undergoing a chemo + immunotherapy treatment and her residual disease is lower than the expected. I so hope she is never going to have a relapse and that she can be cured without a transplant, because transplants in ALL patients can be worse in some cases.
@@starvingartist535 I have read reports from doctors here that say that the life expectancy of ALL patients who have a transplant is usually short. Only a small percentage is totally cured. It is something about the nature of the ALL cancer cells in adult patients that makes it different from kids. Biology is very complex.
@@starvingartist535 but usually, the leukemia with a worst prognosis use to be myeloid leukemia or multiple myeloma. Being Philadelphia positive like you means that you will more likely need a transplant because you have a high probability of relapse. But don't worry about it if your doctors know what they are doing.
My elder brother 34yr age he diagnosed B cell all(Ph negative).is it completely curable in adults with chemotherapy? What the chances of relapses of the disease?
@@shubhambhardwaj8218 From what I understand in this video and other articles about it, if the residual disease remains negative after the whole treatment, there are more chances of avoiding a relapse than if the residual disease is a bit higher from that level. Even though the disease is not considered "cured" until it has disappeared from the body, and most adults will have a relapse. I just hope that new treatments can make adults avoid any kind of relapse, not to be forced to have transplants.
My niece Dominique passed away on Saturday may 7th at 350 am she just turned 27 april 5th from all .t cell .iam trying to understand why? She did get infection ,she had fluid on sides of lungs and intubated. Then last two days. They put her in medically induced coma. She was fighting breathing tube. Why? Help me understand.

I'm a ph-ALL sufferer... If you don't mind me asking, what makes it worse than other leukemia types?
