Acute Leukemia Treatment at Bumrungrad International Hospital

The recovery period differs from one person to another. With targeted therapy and radiation therapy, you should be able to go back to work and some of your normal routine within 1-3 days after the procedure or when you do not experience any symptoms that interfere with your ability to perform your daily activities. With a bone marrow transplant, you should be able to resume most of your normal activities within three months, but the total recovery period can take as long as a year.

Acute leukemia treatment is generally effective and safe. Some patients are put into remission after their treatment. There are some side effects and risks to be aware of, such as fatigue, hair loss, nausea, stem cell failure, infertility, new cancers, infection, cataracts, and death.
