Maintenance therapies after consolidation chemo ?

Welcome to Connect @pefishback. It’s not uncommon for some patients who have completed induction/consolidation to be taking some form of maintenance meds. But not everyone requires them to stay in remission. It can depend on the risk factor for potential relapse, the type of cancer, genetic mutations and such.
What form of blood cancer were you being treated for? Has your doctor suggested post treatment?

Thanks @loribmt. I have acute myeloid leukemia, FLT3 negative and NPM1 positive. No unfavorable mutations of which I’m aware and no current plans for a BMT.
My doctor has so far indicated a preference to just watch and wait for potential relapses. I’d prefer a more proactive approach if possible and wondered if anyone in this support group, who has not undergone a BMT, has had experience with maintenance therapies.
