Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Survival in leukemia patient depends om the type and stage of leukemia. In acute lymphoblasic leukemia with 100% blast cell, survival is very low. I am sorry to say but it has very bad prognosis and he will not survive for long time.
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.
