Having T-cell disease rather than one of the more common forms of ALL does not, by itself, affect the chances of survival. For this reason it is particularly important to discuss the treatment options and the outlook in detail with the specialist. Some patients with high risk disease may be advised to consider bone marrow transplantation. There is a separate Leukaemia Research Fund booklet called Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplantation available on request. Patient's will be advised by their own doctor if this applies to them.
