Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
your father has chronic myeloid leukemia with accelerated phase. Chance of remission depends on how well he respond to treatment. He should start imatinib according to his doctor's advice. Regularly monitor her complete blood count and blast percentage. His total count and blast percentage should be decreased by drugs.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
