It’s monocytic leukemia. He’s awaiting bone marrow biopsy results in a couple of days, then will know more. Thanks for asking.

Your friend may have a little bumpy ride ahead. It depends on the type of monocyte leukemia…if it’s acute or not.
I’m going post a link to an article for you so you’ll be aware of what your friend may be dealing with.

Your friend has a type of AML which can be very aggressive. I had AML with 3 mutations, 2 of which are listed in this article. These can make the condition a bit of a challenge. However, I want to offer you some hope for your friend. I’m now 5 years post AML in a full/enduring remission after a bone marrow transplant.
Depending what is found on your friend’s bone marrow biopsy and if there is any gene mutation involvement, they will need to start some form of treatment soon. It will depend on the results of the biopsy.
Don’t hesitate about asking for more information here. There are a number of us who have had AML and more than willing to help you answer questions for your friend. Wishing him all the best! Keep in touch, ok?
