Has anyone been through treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia? If so can you share your experience. I am going to start treatment next week and am a bit nervous 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to see you joining us and to hear about your AML diagnosis.

    I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups. I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4a so although my Blood Cancer ‘type’ is different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.

    The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) so can I suggest that you consider joining our supportive Acute myeloid  leukaemia group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link(s) I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.

    Do get back to me if you need further help.

    I will keep an eye open for you in the AML group.

    Mike (Thehighlander)
