Is leukemia very serious?

Patient's question:

Previously, my body was relatively healthy, and I also enjoyed being active. However, during the health check-up last month, I was carefully diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. Is it very serious?

Doctor's answer:

Don't be nervous. Most patients usually detect various different diseases during health check-ups. The risk of chronic myeloid leukemia is relatively high, and if this disease is not treated promptly, the condition can spread extremely rapidly, thereby interfering with the body's health. This disease is greatly related to hereditary factors and lifestyle habits. It is not recommended for patients to work overtime for long periods or consume junk food, as this may very likely cause the leukemia to recur or change. In terms of diet, patients should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid overexertion. Paying close attention to rest is beneficial for the complete recovery of the condition.
