Welcome to Connect, @tawakol. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in the blood and bone marrow where (basically) too many immature blood cells continue to form until they eventually crowd out healthy blood cells.

Vidaza is a medication which helps the bone marrow make healthy blood cells and kills abnormal ones. It is given by injection once a day for 7 days every 4 weeks. It is often paired with Venclexta with good results. These are excellent options for patients who are older or may not be good candidates for a bone marrow transplant.

You popped into the perfect discussion with @lindagi and @dancouclanel4 who recently gave their very encouraging updates with the same medications for AML. They’ll be able to give you more information regarding the treatment.

Your dad is very early in treatment. So give this time to work. If you don’t mind sharing, what is your father’s age? Is he in otherwise good health?
