Leukemia can spread to other body parts, including the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart, and kidneys.
Before starting the leukemia treatment, blood tests are done to determine the abnormal growth of red or white cells. A needle biopsy and sample of bone marrow from the pelvic bone will be needed to test for leukemic cells. The costs of these tests are covered in the package.
All the medicines prescribed by the doctor and available at the hospital are covered in the package when you are hospitalized. Once you leave the hospital, the medicines you will buy from outside the hospital charge extra.
Leukemia is the cancer of blood-forming tissues that include the bone marrow and lymphatic system. The treatment is more intensive, and you have to stay in the hospital for 3-4 weeks during the treatment. Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for leukemia. You need to stay in the hospital for a long time after chemotherapy because you will be prone to picking up the infections after the treatment. Regular physical examinations and medical tests will continue to check that leukemia has not come back.
Apart from chemotherapy, leukemia can be treated by radiation therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, stem cell transplant, or surgery. But in some cases, it can return after the original treatment. If it happens, the new cycle of testing will begin again, and after the testing, your doctor will suggest your treatment options which is an additional cost.
The treatment is covered by health insurance plans, including the costs of diagnosis, treatment, hospitalization, chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Out-of-pocket expenses may apply, but additional support is available.
There is no alternative treatment to cure leukemia, but there are some herbal remedies, such as garlic extract, grape seed extract, hibiscus cannabinus, etc., to ease the symptoms of leukemia.
