 | ALL in Testicular Relapse |
|
|
My son is 16 years old. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphcytic Leukemia
in November of 1993. He went into remission after 7 days of induction
chemotherapy treatment. Treatment continued for 3 1/2 years--and was to
have been finished this month. On December 19th, 1996, he was diagnosed
as having relapsed in both testicles. Treatment now includes radiation to
the testicles and a chemotherapy protocol treatment known as CG-112,
Regimen A, which will take another 6 months, followed by maintenance
chemotherapy treatment for 2 years.Our family would appreciate hearing from anyone with information about
treating this disease.
