Suggest Treatment For Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
My sister is suffering by Acute Lymphoblastic Lukemia for last 3 months. Now she is suffering by fever for the last one month. Doctors have given most powerful antibiotic eventhough the fever is not controlled. The reason for fever is Pus formation in the lower hip (in the muscles also). Now doctor is giving Aztrionam injection. Blood counts are not bad. Now what I should do? kindly suggest me sir.

Hello. I appreciate your concern. Chemotherapy can not be done during n episode of fever. She requires complete antibiotic course and removal of infection. If there is definite pus formation, then it may be drained also by surgeon. Only after that further chemo can be given.
