I’m here if you want to talk about anything. This AML diagnosis hit you out of the blue and I know how quickly the disease and its side effects takes over mind and body. The exhaustion and weakness that it brings is debilitating. I wish you all the best with tomorrow’s appointment. I’m hoping you get some encouraging news to start a therapeutic treatment to keep it under control. 😊

Thank you for your comments. My appointment was about 4 hours long, including another platelets infusion. The major outcome, though, was a very frank discussion of what the future looks like. Bottom line is to start getting hospice services in my apartment for as long as possible and to avoid the hospital at all costs. In response to my question, "how long"? the doctor said three to six months.
Is there a group for those of us who are "counting the days"?
