He is taking the TIVSOBO daily until it doesn't work. Then the plan is to switch back to Venetoclax. He's getting VIDAZA IV 7 days every 28 days.

Because he is doing so well, the next bone marrow aspiration won't be until after round 3 of chemo. Chemo starts again 10/3 which is when he sees the doc, has CBC.

He has had no side effects so far.

There weren’t many options for older patients with AML because it requires aggressive doses of chemotherapy and a potential bone marrow transplant which isn’t always tolerated well. Hearing the positive news about your husband’s treatments working to curtail the progression of the leukemia is really so encouraging and valuable information for others in the same situation.

Thank you for sharing his journey with us. As someone who went through all the hoops with my AML, I’m thrilled your husband is holding his own with his treatments! It gives hope to so many others. ☺️
