Hi , good evening , very new to all this and very scared and anxious. My newly wed husband of 10momths was diagnosed with AML in July this year out of the blue . A very fit healthy man . He has had 2 sessions of chemo and had every side effect related to the drugs , he has got a fungal infection out nowhere and is day 4 of the 1st consolidation round and is very unwell with it at the mo . He has made the decision to take the transplant when a donor becomes available, he is in remission for the lukemia at present but has the NPM1 mutation. I feel very alone with my this at the moment and feel our newly married life has been turned upside down . Would love to chat to anyone with this condition of any family members that have come out the outside. Thank you xx
