Hi ,

It does not sound like your grandmother has CML (one type of

leukemia)...because this leukemia is not cured and we stay on pills (our

treatment). It sound like your grandmother had a type of leukemia that is

treated with chemotherapy.

I would see where she can go for a second consult.....her present doctors

don't seem to have a plan for her. In the LA are there is City of Hope,

they specialize in leukemia treatment and also UCLA. Find out from her

insurance where she can go for a 2nd consult and do it soon.
