One way to measure the success of a treatment is tracking how many patients survive five years or more after treatment.
For children, the overall survival rate after chemotherapy is nearly 80%. [3] This includes children with all levels of risk factors. Survival rates are much lower for children with high-risk disease, while children with low-risk disease have even higher rates of survival.
For adults, the overall survival rate after chemotherapy is about 40%. [3] This includes adults with all levels of risk factors. For adults with high-risk disease, survival rates are much lower, while survival rates are higher for some adults with low-risk disease.

It all depends on how far the disease has progressed. My daughter had ALL when she was 5, I realize that it is quite the age difference, but she was given a very strong course of chemo, and she is now three years cancer free. I believe it is all in how quickly the doctor diagnoses and begins chemo, and which course of treatment is given. My daughter always said what brought her through was the doctors working so quickly and getting her the treatment she needed, but most of all she believes it was her faith in God and the prayers of others that brought her through. She strongly believes that God led the doctors in the right direction. A strong will and lots of determination and a whole lot of faith will bring you a long way! Be there for your friend, love her and support her. I’m sure she’ll be fine. ALL is one of the best (if there is such a thing), types of cancer to get, and one of the easiest to beat. I was told this by our oncologist. She said if there was any one type to get, it was ALL. Good luck to you and your friend!

Ok….you might disagree…but Pray.! My cousin had this and he was given 6 weeks to live. His blood count was down to almost nothing things were very bleak. He was writing his will and saying goodbye to people and it seemed like it was worse. We prayed very hard for him….HUNDREDS of people prayed for him…. There was no way he would live the doctors said….
In 8 weeks he was home and is in remission and he is still free that and he is considered a miracle. He is coaching baseball and football and still taking care of his Alzheimer ridden mother 4 years later.
IT ain’t over until the last breath…do not give up……God decides when your job is over on earth….not the doctors and not you. Have a positive outlook and pray!
HOPE and PRAYER are the mainstay of life…never give up either!

you might be better off googling this sort of thing. Some responses here are never truthful and may be upsetting/
