I have had MDS/AML IN December 2023 with 26% blasts, admitted to hospital for month leaving with astounding results. AML is no game. OS was less than a year. I'm now on my 15th cycle with AML in remission as of September 2024. MDS persists. My oncologist and care team at OCSRI Tulsa OK are top of the line. Blood #s are up and exceeding parameters which is another story.....but NO BLASTS!! I'm 80 years old and love a good fight. 👍

Love this story, @dancouclanel4! You’re having amazing success with your treatment for AML. Going from 26% blasts to 0% and holding is miraculous! A little joke one of my doctors and I shared was, “Life is a blast until you find them in your blood.” Only a handful of us understand the nuances of that little anecdote.
Are you on cycles of Vidaza (azacitidine) and Venetoclax?
