look of horror

I had this look again today from someone i had not seen for a while, did the usual how are you and the family etc.I then told her that my hubby had been diagnosed with AML acute myeloid leukeamia in july and was undergoing treatment, it was then i saw the look of horror on her face,i've had this look a few times now and i am curious to know if it's due to genuine shock,surprise or they think it's a definate death sentance, which we know it's not ,maybe 30 years ago,and do other people with other types of cancer ever experience this? would be grateful for your comments as i'm beginning to think i'ts because it's leukeamia and not another cancer,and is still relatively rare in comparrison to other cancers and peoples knowledge of it is still quite limited, unless you or a family member have it when you get to know about the disease very well!!

just wondering if any of you that have finished your chemo for aml can let me know how long you were neutropenic for after your 4th course of chemo, we were told that quite often the 3rd one is the longest but curious to know if you found the 4th as long and if anyone has experienced platelet recovery longer after each course of chemo?
