Hi there, here's my journey

6 years watch and wait, then aml and mds popped its ugly head, donnor match, someone from Germany, which only lasted 3 years, and the cancer was back, I've been on azacitidine injections almost 5 years... only 5 day treatment and 3 weeks off, was a shock this month as neutrophils was too low, so had a extra 3 weeks off.. and atm im having my chemo laters...

It's a first for me joining I'm not sure what else to say....

Apart from HELLO Wave 

  • Crikey I've just put my first post on and didn't even say Hello! Feeling bad oops!

  • Lol I did... hello

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that after 3 years your AML and MDS has recurred.

    The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join and post in the acute myeloid leukaemia forum and also the myelodysplasia and myeloproliferative neoplasms forum as you'll then connect directly with others who have these cancers to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join, just click on the links I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

  • Hi  and can I also extend a welcome to you too.

    I haven't been able to find the post you say you've already put on, so if you can tell me what brings you here I could point you in the right direction for help and support.
