Hi jko

My brother in law has had a chronic form of leukemia for many years. It is well controlled and causes him no major problems. Sorry, I don't know the type. 

Perhaps all is not doom and gloom, and with appropriate management your dad can do as well as my brother in law. 

It might be worth reading up about this form of cancer on the Cancer Research web site.  My recommendation is to avoid US sites for medical information. 

Hello jko and welcome to our forum although I'm sorry for the reason that brings you here.

Telemando gave some good advice when it comes to reading information on our website so I thought I might stop by and send you the link to the page we have on the different types of leukaemia. I hope this can be of some help.

Also, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you feel like talking to someone medically trained might help, they're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Warm wishes,
