Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up revealed a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me if chronic myeloid leukemia that has been in remission for 10 years could still relapse?Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is a type of malignant disease that affects the blood. The main cause of chronic myeloid leukemia is related to the abnormal fibrosis of granulocytes, which suggests a certain correlation with the body's immune system. After the disease is under control, it is essential to have regular follow-up checks and actively use medication to manage it. Additionally, consuming more foods that boost the immune system can be beneficial. Even if the disease hasn't flared up for 10 years, there is still a possibility of recurrence, so it is important to remain vigilant.
