If you have leukemia, you WILL be living with it "for life", no matter how long your life happens to be. That said, there are some excellent treatments for leukemia that have extended your expected lifetime by years. (We haven't had them available for long enough to say "decades", but that's certainly possible.) In any event, the newer treatments, in many cases, will let you live long enough to die of something entirely unrelated.

The prognosis for stage 4 leukemia can vary significantly based on several factors, including the specific type of leukemia, the patient’s overall health, and how well they respond to treatment. Generally, stage 4 leukemia indicates that the disease has advanced and may have spread to other organs, which can lead to a more limited life expectancy. While some patients may live for months to a few years with aggressive treatment, others may have a shorter survival time. It's essential for patients to discuss their individual situation with their healthcare team for a more accurate assessment.
Acute leukemia is not always fatal. Many patients can recover with treatment and live a normal life. The survival rate depends a great deal on the sub-type, patient's age and general health, and other individual factors. See link below for more information.
