Thank you both for responding!

He has an oncologist who diagnosed AML. He has a hematologist with an appointment early in April to discuss possibilities- could not get in any sooner. We will have a talk about treatment to slow progression! Thanks, as I was thinking this may be hopeless based upon discussion with the oncologist.

Also will click on that link above.
Thanks!

AML can progress rather rapidly once there are blasts present in the peripheral blood. It wouldn’t hurt to call the hematologist’s office to see if there is an earlier appointment or to get your husband on their cancelation list. There are always cancellations and appointment changes. It’s ok to be the squeaky wheel to get your husband seen sooner!
Don’t give up hope. 😉

Good morning @5qdeletion. I wanted to check in with you today to see how your husband is doing. Has he been able to get an earlier appointment to see the hematologist?
