Hi @bettersleep68 No, people don’t always have a relapse after treatment for AML. In fact, with medications for older patients with AML, such as Vidaza/Venetoclax and Inqovi and targeted therapies for specific mutations, people are staying in remission.

@sonieaml has been in remission for over 2 years where she shared this news in this comment:

You’ve been in remission for a year already and that is such encouraging news. I know when we have AML it’s challenging not to feel there’s a specter over our shoulders. But we also can’t live in fear! It’s so important to live each day to the fullest and if there is a change in health, the we deal with it at that time! But to worry about ‘what if’ it comes back, is robbing you of precious time. ☺️
