Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ B-ALL)

I had breast cancer 13 years ago at age 30. I had a double mastectomy and four rounds of chemotherapy. I didn't know that the treatments for breast cancer put me at risk for developing leukemia. But I have since learned that leukemia secondary to breast cancer, while rare (0.5%), does exist.
