After 5 intensive months of supporting my husband through AML, it seems the treatment is nearly complete and for all intents and purposes he is in remission.
Apart from the 1st month when he had a reaction to the strong AML trial drugs and had a heart attack, he has been remarkable.
I think his positive attitude has helped enormously, keeping his allotment, fishing, making jams for the local pub - and visiting it of course - drinking wine on non chemo days etc!!
He has come home today whilst the counts fall and goes back in on Saturday (which coincides with my birthday (no surprise there!) and then all being well, should be out for good in a couple of weeks.
Doctors say all looks well, bone marrow clear, no nasty leukemia cells lurking anywhere and he wants to be back at work by beginning June.
So thanks to all my Mac friends for the support - and i hope there is also good news for others who contribute to the site.
