text: Hi!  Depends on what type of Leukemia the diagnosis is.  And yes....there are people who are cured of Leukemia!  Some types are more "treatable"....the term remission is usually used for a period following the Leukemia....in most cases after 5 years the Leukemia is considered to be cured if there has been no relapse.  There is a risk of secondary diseases with Leukemia chemotherapy's and other treatments just the same as any type of cancer.  Medicine has come a long way in the treatment of Leukemia in the past 20 years....giving many diagnosed with Leukemia a good second chance at life!!!
