If blood cancer is cured in its first stage can it come back again ?A femals being cured of the first stage blood cancer at the age of 22 years can she get married and have childrens?
Answer by salvationthecrow93
A risk with cancer is that it might come back again and you will have to go to the doctor often and regular to get looked at so when/if it does you can get the necessary treatments ASAP.
And proably so. I don't see how that would affect children after it's cured. Consult a doctor.

What type of leukemia and what was the treatment? I am an aml patient, diagnosed at 21, went through chemo relapsed one year ago at 23 went through transplant this past summer. It was possible that I was still fertile until my transplant. It has been confirmed (well, something like 99% chance anyways) that the transplant treatment fried all my eggs.
But, that is NOT the case for all patients. A lot of leukemia patients do go on to have children (ofcourse, having cancer does not effect whether you can get married). You really (or the person in question) needs to talk to a fertility specialist and I figure this person already knows that.
I will tell that within the first 5 years of remission relapse chances are high. Unfortunatly, if it is an acute type, the body simply wont survive long enough to complete an early pregnancy and a fetus will not survive the harsh chemo that is needed for leukemia. If this person is preg if/when they relpase, the abortion vs death question will have to be answered. For that reason I never tried during my remission and I am very glad I never did try because while I would have gone through the abortion it would not have mattered in the end because I know it would drive me insane (that is why I never tried during my remission).
I will also tell you that while I can foster, In my state I cannot adopt through the public system since I have been treated for and am still at high risk for a life threatening disease.

Blood cancer or leukemia (unlike solid tumors) cannot be classified into stages because blood flows throughout the entire body. To answer your question, yes, it can go into relapse anytime during treatment or even a few years after treatment has been completed. She can live a normal life and get married and have children. However, be cautioned that getting pregnant might cause a relapse.
