Here is what one resource said, "With acute leukemias, children who are free of disease after 5 years are very likely to have been cured, as it very rare for these cancers to return after such a period of time."

Say, five years in remission means cured? Or am I wrong about that...?lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.com
