have a friend who says he had leukemia( I know no details) and he took treatments from CMC vellore 7 yars back..he now says he is totally cured though he sometimes go for blood trnasfusions..he never disclsoes more than that. I sometimes wonder how he could survive for 7 years and still doing great Does he really has cancer or some other kind ? But he says it IS leukemia but now it is 'totally cured'. He is also married and has a daughter of 4 years and is happy..Im really worried if he is not serious about his disease. can anyone please let me know?

leukemia is relentless doubling of B or T cells. he must have had a Bone marrow transplant which later might need repeated transfusions. but theres is a wonder drug called gleevec from novartis which has good curing rate for CML. may be it worked for him...but why ask here
