A member asked:

What is the likelyhood of a leukemia patient surviving if they have a blood clot in the lungs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very likely.: There are many kinds of leukemia. Some not as severe or devastating as others. Depending on the type and severity of the leukemia, one may have as much chance with a pulmonary embolus as any other normal person. It is a serious illness but if recognized and treated, can be a good outcome.
