It depends on type o: Leukemia types vary, so you need to tell us the exact type of leukemia? It can be acute or chronic; the duration of treatments vary accordingly. Most acute leukemias are treated for several months(one called all is treated for 1-2 years). Chronic leukemias, commonly occur in adults and require treatment for many years. But the exact info can be given to you if you ask your oncologist.

Hard to say...: It depends a lot on multiple factors including type of leukemia, age of patient, stage of disease, coexisting illnesses, etc. Initially, it is usually at least several weeks but it may last for months function of how fast or how slow the patient responds to therapy.
