I am kind of in the same boat as your husband, but my doctors at Dana Farber always respond to my portal messages. I was diagnosed January 2024. I started Chemo locally in March and was told they have found me a perfect match. I had another Cycle of chemo in April followed by a bone marrow bx in May. Bx came back with blast elevated. I then started cycle 3 with IV Chemo and Venetoclax pills. I have an appointment early July for another Bone Marrow Bx. If blast are down or not I will remain on the IV Chemo and Ventoclax til I get to Transplant. What I thought would be happening in May looks like it won't be until September. I have a special needs daughter at home and
need to make arrangements, which I have in place just waiting for the go ahead. It's diffentely a roller coaster ride and makes it hard to plan. I just started to live my life and hope I get at least a week notice to get my belongings together. I live 2 hours away and will be in Boston for 1 to 2 months.
Hang in there it's not an easy ride. I wish you both the best of luck.

Thank you very much for this reply. It does sound very similar to our situation, only no one is telling us when we can expect more tests or if more chemo will be scheduled. Talked to transplant clinic admin yesterday he said he would have my husband's doctor call us since "these portal messages don't seem to be working for communication." Waiting for that call.
Our best wishes for you too.

Hi What type AML do you have, I was hoping for stencil TP but have been told no..
