Q: ALL (Acute Lymphoblast Leukemia) and Prognosis
asked by:

I have a family member who was just diagnosed with ALL Lukemia. He is 89 years old and not in any shape to be aggressive with treatment. The doctor put him on steroids last week. His white count was doubling daily. Our family has come to grips with the fact that this condition is fatal. We are most concerned right now with how it will happen. Can anyone tell me what happens at the end of this disease? What fails? How much pain? How do we know when it's coming to the end?
Thank you...desperate for answers...
