Well done you, Linda!
Your post was a gift to read. Hubby (74yo) just diagnosed with AML & we're so freaked, despite the amazing care our Mayo team is giving us.
Thank you truly

Welcome to Connect, @justjoan11. You’ve joined an amazing support team members who have been diagnosed with AML. I’m so happy to hear that your husband (and you) are under the care of the outstanding hematology dept at Mayo. I was just there for my annual follow-up at Mayo Rochester…my home away from home, having had AML and a bone marrow transplant 6 years ago.

@lindagi is one of several members who have benefited from the tremendous breakthroughs in the treatment of AML over the past few years. This form of leukemia used to have a less than favorable outcome for those of us in our ‘golden years’, especially if a bone marrow transplant wasn’t an option. With the drugs such as Venetoclax and Dacogen, Vidaz, etc, there is hope for many enjoyable years ahead.
What treatment has been recommended for your husband? Which Mayo Campus do you visit?
