Best Answer

Unfortunately, often times leukemia, a form of cancer, cannot be cured and the patient does not survive. Many times, leukemia can be treated for a time and sometimes the cancer goes away. Sadly, there are times when even the best doctor cannot cure leukemia. Technically, if you have leukemia you are never fully "cured", you just lose the bad cells and go into remission.
