Hello,
My husband has AML, recently as of 2/20/23. We are wondering if there is a virtual support group out there. I have not been able to find one.

Hello @tweetyslp, well, you came to the right place because there are a number of us in the Connect support group who have had AML and we’d love to help you and your husband with this new adventure he’s on.
My diagnosis for AML was 2/6/19 and after several rounds of Chemo to treat that, I received a bone marrow transplant at Mayo Rochester the end of June 2019.
Fellow members, @edb1123 @kt2013 @alive and several others have also had AML and transplants. We’re all doing really well and here to offer hope and encouragement to anyone who is facing this blood cancer.

If your husband was diagnosed in February, he’s most likely had one or two weeks of chemo. How is he doing with his treatment and has a bone marrow transplant been suggested for him?

I was diagnosed with AML 7 years ago. I had a stem cell transplant 5 months after my diagnosis. I can meet with you virtually to answer any questions you may have about my experience. You are welcome to message me.
