Only M3 leukemia requires no bone marrow transplant; chemotherapy alone has a high success rate. Of course, there are other types of leukemia that can be treated with chemotherapy, but these cases are rare. For chronic myeloid leukemia, initial medication can control the condition, but if conditions allow, bone marrow transplant is still recommended. The transplant usually involves a high-dose chemotherapy session in an isolation chamber followed by the infusion of stem cells. You will need to stay in the isolation chamber for about a month, and then you will also need to stay in the hospital for some time after that. The length of hospital stay depends on individual circumstances. If you are planning to undergo a bone marrow transplant surgery, I recommend that you consult with your doctor in detail and ensure you have an appropriate match.

A 14-month-old baby has developed O-shaped legs again, which is likely due to a deficiency of vitamin D in the body, leading to poor calcium absorption and subsequent bone changes associated with rickets. Rickets is a self-limiting disease, and the baby is currently in a remission phase, so it is important to promptly supplement vitamin D for treatment. In addition, it is crucial to maintain outdoor activities. O-shaped legs can cause severe harm to patients, so if symptoms are detected, medical attention should be sought promptly, and efforts should be made to strengthen self-care by consuming more vegetables and fruits while avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with O-shaped legs can receive professional treatment.
