This an update on my AML. Recently had my fourth bone marrow biopsy and good results - still in remission.
Had another maintenance round of azacitidine, followed by another blood test to check if still all good. Saw my haematologist last Wednesday here in Jaen, Spain and he said how pleased he was with my results. Except for my platelets (down), bloods are near to normal as they can be.
I am now looking forward to celebrating my 75th birthday in December and hopefully stay stable for sometime to come. I have survived 22 months of this cancer.
As he says, the main thing is one's attitude and stay away from infections, keep wearing my mask when out and about and keep healthy.
