Leukemia treatment can be challenging.

The schedule for your loved one’s medications can be complex, needing to be administered at precise times. 

It may also be necessary to learn specific medical tasks, such as monitoring central lines, administering injections, or handling medical equipment. 

Additionally, you should monitor for potential side effects and remain vigilant for signs of fever, infection, bleeding, or other complications. 

The frequent hospital and doctor visits for chemotherapy, transfusions, lab work, and follow-up care can be disruptive to daily life as well.
