A member asked:

Can leukaemia patients need chemo compulsory? if they are in first stage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Anyone who tells you that leukemia can be treated effectively without chemotherapy is simply lying. I'm sorry there are people like this in the world. If someone close to you is affected, or you yourself, I hope you get a good outcome.
