My dad has been diagnosed with AML he just finished his first round of chemo. In a few weeks the bone marrow will be checked to see if it working there is a 30% chance it will and if it does he will have 3 years has anyone gone through similar but actually beat it
So much positivity I myself feel so much better today than I did yesterday. Thank you very much
This is such a lovely post Rog, and gives us all who are at the start of this journey hope.
My husband is 69 and was diagnosed with AML 6 weeks ago. Like everyone here - a total shock that has taken over our lives and stolen our plans. It is hard to imagine him home and 'getting on with life' as you are, but I know I must hang on to that thought.
He is currently on his 5th week in isolation, having received the first course of 10 day treatment. He is dreaming of long walks again with the dogs !!
Tulia, am thinking of you and wishing all the best for your Dad x
