Mary612, I am so very happy for your husband, I am just curious of your husbands age. I have AML w/mutation to but I was denied a BMT unfortunately so I am going to have to be on treatment, the BMT would have been my best treatment for my AML.
Best of luck and enjoy your new grand baby.

Hi @myfablife
Thank you for your kind wishes for our grandson.

My husband just turned 65 a couple weeks after the BMT. His doctor told him just last week that his age is the only thing not in his favor for enduring the transplant but because he is fit and in good health otherwise, that counteracts his age.

I am sorry to hear you were denied a transplant. I have been quite encouraged by all the positive outcomes for AML treatments that are not as toxic as treatments that used to be the standard of care. I wish you the very best outcomes indefinitely!

Mary
