Actually the chances of surviving Hansen's Disease (the medical name for leprosy) is very high. Even without treatment (except symptomatological like treating the open sores) patients have survived many decades some almost living as long as people without the disorder.
But with modern antibiotic treatment the disease can be completely cured, If applied soon enough after diagnosis the patient is likely to recover without any of the scarring typical of the untreated disease.
