How long does it take to recover from chronic myelogenous leukemia treatment?

Length of treatment is unique to each specific case. People who are on targeted drug therapy for CML should take their medication exactly as prescribed by their healthcare provider. In most cases, people with chronic myelogenous leukemia will stay on TKIs for at least two to three years. At this point, some individuals may be able to discontinue the medication and attempt treatment-free remission. Others may need to stay on TKIs indefinitely. It’s important that you talk with your healthcare provider about what to expect in your unique situation.
