Q: do leukemia symptoms come and go? or are they constant and tend to get worse?

: In leukemia the bone marrow almost always produces more rather than less leukemia cells as time goes on unless effective chemotherapy is administered. Symptoms would resolve only if chemotherapy is successful. Untreated cases will experience ongoing and worsening symptoms.
