This special case of leukemia is treated with the help of chemotherapy. During the first shot of chemo, staying in hospital for many weeks is mandatory. In the later visits, one can receive chemo shots by just visiting the clinic regularly. For low white blood cell count, a patient is kept isolated in a hospital room as the person is extremely vulnerable to infections at this point. Since, this disease has a probability of spreading to the brain and spinal cord, chemotherapy drugs cannot be given by using the vein as the medium. Veins fail to deliver it to the cancerous areas and hence, the drugs are directly injected into the space around the brain or in the spinal cord area. Chemotherapy can be taken from time to time for prevention of cancer if it relapses. 

Spreading of leukemia to other parts of the body invites the call of radiation therapy. It is one useful therapy that basically involves high energy X-rays, also known as radio pharmaceuticals, which are emission of radiation chemicals that can be either swallowed, injected, or implanted in the body. This therapy helps in damaging the DNA of the cancer cells which stops the process of cell division. The cancer cells are directly attacked via this therapy before they even divide. Although, the damage to the normal cells also gets counted which causes the side effects. There are some side effects which are short term i.e. skin that looks like sun burnt or even suffering from fatigue.

If the leukemia cancer does not respond to other treatments, then a bone marrow transplant is considered. If one has a sibling with an exact matching bone marrow, the sibling can be considered. Normally, this transplant process is considered for cases of relapse. This process has given excellent results in terms of long term patient survival but it all depends on the timing of the transplant which can be either before or after a remission. 

Depending of the severity of the infection or the spread of the disease, the use of these antibiotics and antifungal medications are considered. A case where the patient is suffering from neutropenia, there is a rise in need of preventive antibiotics. A lot of cancer fighters look out for rehabilitation programs which help patients as they are able to share about their problems with others who are suffering from the same.

This is most often given to chemotherapy patients who get shots for stimulating the grown of infectious white blood cells. It also helps in preventing neutropenia. It is highly advised to go for the right medication and not try anything personally as the patient may not be aware of the side effects some medications can actually cause. Henceforth, kindly visit the doctor before going any step forward.

These fluids helps in maintaining the fluid balance in the body. As the imbalance of fluids can cause abnormality in the levels of different acids in the body like uric or sodium. The method listed above can be pretty excruciating but it is best to visit the doctor and follow their recommendations.

Monoclonal antibodies also help in treating patients with leukemia. The are certain types of antibodies that get produced by the immune system which are developed in the laboratory in the form of special proteins that will react with the cancer cells for killing them. This causes fever and some other side effects. Patients who have white blood cells whose count is high might experience kidney problems since the reaction of the antibody proteins with the cancer cells can cause hurdles in metabolism leading to kidney failures.
