Diagnosed in may 2023 with MDS/AML blasts of 26% forced me into hospital for first treatment of vidaza and venetoclax . I am 80 years old. Maintenance every 28 days since that time has put AML in remission and no transfusions since July '23. As of Dec '23 I see oncologist every other week. Hemoglobin is lagging in 12.0 - 12.5 area but quality of life is MUCH better. Very grateful for my team.

Good morning, @dancouclanel4 I didn’t get the chance to reply yesterday when I read this awesome report of your success with V & V for your AML! Your story, along with @sonieaml and @lindagi gives a much needed morale boost and hope to patients with AML when aggressive treatments or a bone marrow transplant aren’t options for them.
And actually, it doesn’t appear your hemoglobin is lagging at all if it’s 12.0-12.5. That’s in the normal range for an adult female. And no blasts? This is a win/win! Happy New Year to you! Wishing you all the best as you continue along. ☺️
