B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for Adults
For some people, treatment makes the cancer go away. For others, the cancer may not go away completely, or it may return. If that's the case, you may need regular treatment with chemotherapy or other drugs to keep it in check for as long as possible.
It's possible that treatment to fight B-cell ALL may stop working. If that happens, you may want to focus on making sure you're as comfortable as possible, known as palliative care. You may not be able to control your cancer, but you can control choices about how you'll live your life.
You don't have to face things alone. Consider joining a support group, where you can you share your feelings with others who understand what it's like.
