Hi Lori,

Today, we got the last of the genetic testing results from my father's first biopsy a few weeks ago. The Oncologist said he has AML-MRC. Any experience with this?

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan, I don’t remember seeing MRC after my AML diagnosis. It translates to Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Myelodysplasia-Related Changes. From what I’m reading this can make the case a little more complex and it’s important to make this discovery early on in order to get the proper treatment.

The National Institute of Health (National Library of Medicine) had this article if you’re interested.

Gary’s at one of the best hospitals in the state so they’ll be aware of the diagnosis and treat your dad accordingly. How is he feeling? Is he starting to rebound from the first round of chemo?
