Hello! I am new to this site and am looking information on AML. Someone I know has recently been Diagnosed with AML. She is a 38 year old women and has always seemed to be the sickly type (colds, flu etc..) Well since the beginning of Summer 09 she really seemed to go down hill (more colds/flus) on 9/10/09 while she was at home she passed out, an ambulance was called took her to the hospital Emergency Room and was diagnosed with AML at the time of diagnosis she had a hemoglobin level of 3.9. She received 8+ transfusions and started Induction Chemotherapy on 9/12/09. She has experienced EVERY side effect possible. Yesterday she was released from the hospital and will have to be hooked up to an IV and be under the care of a Home Care nurse. I was wondering if anyone else has had to be under the care of a nurse while at home and had to have IV's while at home. I was also wondering if going into this with such a Low hemoglobin level is that a bad sign? Does that mean that there were a lot of leukemia cells? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated..... I wanna hear the REAL stories of folks dealing with AML. Thanks in Advance :)
