Hi @ryanman0, I’m wondering if by MLA, did you mean your father has AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia which is a blood cancer that originates in the bone marrow? It’s sometimes an aggressive form of leukemia that can be a tricky cancer to treat. I’m sure your dad has gone through several rounds of chemo and now, to keep him in remission,
he’ll need a bone marrow transplant.

I had the same cancer and a transplant almost 3.5 years ago and happy to say, I’m in a durable remission from AML. The transplant journey isn’t an easy road but it is well worth the effort. Your father is fortunate to have you as a caregiver. That’s not an easy task but together you’ll make a great team 😉
There will be days when he’s going to be exhausted, possibly nauseated and not feeling well. He’ll need encouragement to eat, get liquids and his medications down. That can be a challenge sometimes. Just to let you, there will be days he may just want to be left alone to sleep or have ‘me’ time. So don’t get discouraged if that happens.

MD Anderson is one of the leading transplant centers in the US, along with Mayo Clinic. He’ll be in very good hands.
Has he gotten a transplant date yet? How’s he feeling about what lies ahead?
