Hi @doitbob How old are all these patients? Well, in this particular discussion most of the members, I’d say, are in their late 60s to 90-ish. The conversation is regarding members with AML (acute myeloid leukemia), who are taking medications of lower intensity chemo to treat their leukemia.
Years ago, these drugs weren’t available, leaving many people in this age group without any recourse because intensive chemo wouldn’t be well tolerated. Without treatment the outcome isn’t favorable. Not everyone is eligible for a bone marrow transplant for similar reasons.
So having these drug options such as Venetoclax and Dacogen/Vidaza and others are life savers.

Have you or a loved one been diagnosied with leukemia or other blood cancer?
