How we produce our information|
Chemotherapy| may cure the leukaemia. Sometimes however, the acute myeloid leukaemia does come back. This is called relapse, which can be very disappointing and upsetting. If this happens, your specialist will advise you on how best to treat the leukaemia, and work out the most positive approach for you.
Your leukaemia may be resistant to the drugs that you had initially, so different drugs or new combinations of different drugs may be needed to give you further remissions.
