What good fortune to be in remission! Hope it does the trick for a good long time.

Can you tell me whether you've had strong side effects from Venetoclax and Decitabine --- and if you started Venetoclax for the very first drug? I read somewhere that those drugs are used after remission, when more help is needed.

My 82 year old husband was recently diagnosed with AML. We talk next week with the hematologist to determine how to proceed. Your input would be most appreciated!

Hello @5qdeletion, It’s been quite a while since you’ve posted in Connect. I just wanted to followup with you to see how your husband is doing. He was recently diagnosed with AML and he was about to have his meeting with the hematologist. I hope by now he’s having some good news and responding to treatments. Is he currently having chemo or taking meds to control the progression of the disease?
