My dad received his results today and he AML with 6 mutations.
They have said that he won't tolerate intensive treatments and only thing they can do is manage symptoms and blood transfusions.
The prognosis isnt great they have said 12 months max. He has other long term health issues to contend with.
Im a loan parent with my own long term health conditions which affect mood and mobility. I have no idea how I'm going to explain things to my very sensitive 7 year old daughter who adores her granddad. The decision is not to tell her yet, but I'm trying to keep it together whilst she presses.
I feel utterly lost
