Wonderful story. I am a blood cancer coach and. Had a bone marrow transplant for AML in Feb 2023 from my son. I receive patients from various sources, the primary being HealthTree but also from LLS (Blood Cancer United), NBMTLink, and here from Duke Health. I have had (and have now) “coachees” who are in similar places. They couldn’t get SCT but went on the Venetoclax + Hypomethylating agent and the results have been amazing. Not everyone gets the 2+ year effect but some do and it is such a happy thing. I am happy for you and others for whom it has bought them Time, a most precious resource while we are here on this plane of existence.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Hi Steve, I saw your initial post regarding having AML/SCT in the Prostate Cancer Group first and replied to it before this one! I modified my reply after seeing this post in the Blood Cancer Group, so…you’ll be getting a double welcome! 😄

As a fellow AML/BMT survivor (post BMT +6 yrs) (and AML/BMT mentor for several organizations) I’m looking forward to hearing more of your journey. Please feel free to jump into any conversations where you feel you can share your experiences.

Have you experienced any issues with GVHD?
