There is always hope. AML, if not treated quickly and aggressively, can progress rapidly as the immature, ineffective white blood cells (blasts) proliferate and crowd out healthy red cells. That’s why you’ll see your hemoglobin and platelets decreasing and wbc increasing.
Transfusions can work temporarily to help keep the vital blood numbers somewhat stable. From my experience, the drop in hemoglobin will continue bringing on extreme fatigue and weakness.
Did your doctor mention any treatments for you yet?
