Question
My 8-year-old child has had two chemotherapy sessions for M3 leukemia after one and a half years. What is the best interval between treatments?
Answer
It is recommended to consult a hospital to determine the optimal interval for chemotherapy. Leukemia cannot be cured; it is a type of blood cancer. A better treatment for leukemia is bone marrow transplantation. However, this process is very complex, and finding a successful match is difficult. Even with a successful match, post-operative rejection reactions may lead to death due to the high medical costs. In summary, bone marrow transplantation can only prolong life but cannot cure M3 leukemia, which is a very dangerous and difficult-to-treat type of leukemia.
