I too am an AML survivor and thriver! I celebrated my 3rd rebirthday in July and I am doing great! I went through a lot of the things your son is going through - nausea, fever, infection in my port. Eight days after my transplant, I was hospitalized for 12 days so they could give me fluids and get my fever down. The Protein shakes that Mayo nurses made for me were great so I made them at home. I also ate a lot of applesauce. But I got through it and started rebuilding my strength. Now I golf and play pickleball, and enjoy other activities just like a “normal” person! I hope your son can get through this difficult time because there is hope for a normal life on the other side! 🙏
