What is the Life expectancyof a patient suffering from bone marrow suppression due to chemotherapy?

Bone marrow usually recovers after chemotherapy, in a few weeks or months. However, if a person has had many different chemotherapy regimens, the suppression can become long standing or possibly permanent. The type of cell usually suppressed is within the white blood cell line. These are cells that help fight bacterial infection. Having a lower number of these puts a person at risk of developing a serious infection. It is possible that a person could die of this.It is impossible to tell any person's life expectancy. A person can live a long time with bone marrow suppression with supportive care and prudent choices to reduce risk of infection (not eating raw seafood and staying away from sick people.)
