Acute myeloid leukemia (AML): What can I expect?

I’m so sorry to hear about your friend! I was diagnosed with AML seven years ago. I was not given much time to live unless I received a stem cell transplant. I went through a lot of chemo to prepare me for the transplant. I’m here today because of it.
I did participate in a clinical trial, but it was during the transplant to try to prevent GVHD.
Is stem cell transplant an option for your friend?

Thank you, I will send her your words of encouragement. I mentioned the stem cell, the dr said he didn’t think she could survive the chemo and said she would have to be admitted to the hospital for the chemo, I think she was scared and didn’t want to die in the hospital. The prognosis was so bad they told her she may only have a few months. She is seeing a top aml specialist at UCD although they are waiting for the last results before they schedule her with him.
I have been just texting her my other girlfriend has been updating me since she does not want to keep repeating her diagnosis.
