  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Susan although I'm sorry about your brother's diagnosis and can understand your concern.

    Do you know what type of leukaemia he has? If so you can use our website to navigate to the section about treatment options and see if they are the same as what your brother has told you.

    Our specialist cancer nurses may be able to help as well. If you're in the UK you can call them for free on 0808 800 4040 and they will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about your brother's situation. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m-5p.m.

    I hope this helps.

    Wishing you and your brother all the best, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
