Hello. My husband”s mother has been diagnosed with leukemia. Luckily, it is not one of those severe cases. Supposedly, it is a slow growing cancer and it will be observed. Regardless the severity of her condition, I am still very concerned about my husband and our two boys! I mean, I would like to know if leukemia is hereditary. All info is more than welcome! Thx
Rare cases of leukemia result from hereditary conditions. Usually, the cause of the disease is unknown. However, Occasional cases of leukemia may be caused by environmental factors such as toxic chemicals or radiation. The thing is that patients with leukemia may be of any age from early infancy through late adulthood.
Hi there,
Leukemia is very problematic and the condition should not be ignored at all. The question that you asked is very good actually because many people are asking the same thing. I don’t think that this has been confirmed yet but some professional say that leukemia might be hereditary. There are some researches done on this topic but I don’t think that no one can say for sure yet that your husband and your children will have this disease as well just because his mother had it. However regular checkups would be advised in order to monitor their blood. Early detection of problem will easier lead to the treatment of the problem.
Best wishes,
Marco

Hi, my friend's husband had leukemia when he was 3 months baby, he underwent treatment and got cured. Now he is healthy without any problems. She wants to know is leukemia hereditary? Also, can it come back?
