Yes, their good news gave me hope on the contrary to the dominant feeling of fear and anxiety everywhere else. My father is 70 years old. He is in good health except worries that control him. I am not in a hurry but demanding me to sign a concent of high risk case frightened me alot.

There are some varying factors with AML, such as acquired genetic mutations, which can influence the disease as well as the treatment I had it AML myself 6 years ago at the age of 65. With chemo and a bone marrow transplant I’m healthy, cancer free and living a great 2nd life.

If your dad is in good heath, has it been suggested that he might be a candidate for a bone marrow transplant? At this point in time it remains the only potential cure for AML.

Do you remember seeing the mention of blasts on your dad’s blood work? What were the mutations linked with your dad’s diagnosis?

I’m curious, what makes your dad’s case classified as high risk? Was it for the disease itself or the treatment?
