Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am so sorry to see the circumstance that brought you here and so sorry to hear that your husband has been diagnosed with AML.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out on the Community and more specifically in our blood cancer forums.
Let’s look for some of the AML folks to pick up on your post, this will be a great place for you to get the support you need.
Having had sepsis a number of times I understand the challenges but trust in his team as they will get things under control and move treatment on.
