Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Survival rate depends on phase of chronic myeloid leukemia. He has philadelphia chromosome positive so it is good prognostic indicator. His age is also favourable. So if he take proper treatment then 5 year survival rate is high. It has good prognosis then the acute leukemia.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
