What is the average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with blood cancer?

Answer by  Susan (179)

There are many types of this cancer and each will respond differently to treatment. It also depends on the person and how far it has advanced. Average is one year.

Answer by  Joe12 (189)

Life expectancy depends on the type of blood cancer and the age and health of the patient. For the most common type (CLL), the life expectancy for an otherwise healthy older person may be normal.

It depends on the form of the cancer, some forms are rapidly fatal while others can sit idle and you can die with the cancer, not from it.
