Hi @sonieaml. Thank you, I’m happy too! ☺️ It was an arduous odyssey with AML. The initial induction and two consolidation rounds of chemo. Those got me to a temporary remission but doctors anticipated a relapse within the year. Long term, ongoing maintenance wasn’t an option for me. So a month later I had a BMT. That sealed the deal for me. Some of the meds available now, were not approved yet at the time of my transplant. Continued research and developed are so important to finding cures for this nasty form of blood cancer.

It’s really wonderful that you’re doing well on your treatment program! Years ago, people in our age group didn’t have many, if any options. And thank you for being such a positive voice in this AML support group! It’s important so that members like @bettersleep68 realize that these treatments can work to help keep AML under control.
Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. We all have much to be thankful for. 🦃
