Medical Stories - AML: Walter's Story
According to the National Institutes of Health, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia among the adult population and accounts for about 80% of all cases.
Walter said he “went from being extremely healthy to being extremely sick in about 48 hours” before learning that he had AML. After a failed attempt at chemotherapy, Walter’s outlook changes when a donor gives him the opportunity to undergo a transplant procedure - and Walter gains a “new family member” in the process.
Featuring renowned expert:
Dr. David A. Sallman, myeloid section head at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida.

    Thank you for sharing your story bc I was diagnosed when I was 5 ( 45 now) and they called it or...how my dad use to tell me, " a low blood platelet disorder." It wasn't until this last 5 years that I've had more information on ITP. I think I go into remission once in a while but have always had hematoma's on my legs pretty much all year around and extreme fatigue. I hope to someday be able to afford treatment.

She tried so hard to to live like a normal teenager. She missed so many days from school because of being in the hospital. Some teachers did not understand her illness and would make nasty comments about her absence’s.

    He went to the oncologist and the Dr. said he has MM...what? No Bone Marrow Biopsy before he told him that? Here is my story...I was taken to the E.R. at a HEART HOSPITAL,( note to others with heart pain..Learned this long time ago..when having specifically heart pain, always go to a Heart specialist type of Hospital.( Do not go to a city Hospital) Doing all tests needed to see how my heart was functioning because I was having heart pain..X-Rays on chest and Back...Also had a catherization done....Turns out my heart is fine. It was my high blood pressure causing pain to my heart. ..213/107.Doctors come to my hospital room, telling me they see 'something' on my right side upper back on the X-Ray..well more tests run, blood work again, we see cancer cells in your blood..is what they say.. Had 2 Bone Marrow Biopies done ....2 months later I AM Diagnosed with Multple Myeloma Cancer...AND My Heart is good....Doctor said GOOD NEWS >>>YOUR HEART IS GOOD< HOWEVER YOU HAVE CANCER...You have 6 months to 1 year to live if left untreated...I am researching using Ivermectin medicine and juicing for treatment.. Ivermectin is used for deworming horses.. How nice. I ride horses.... I would have never known I had cancer if I did not have heart pain..Glad I went to E.R. Thank you for sharing this story

    My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma in April 2024, at the age of 75, after complaining of abdominal pain. We fought and she fought, but sadly she succumbed two weeks ago on September 03, 2024. This diagnosis took us all by surprise, as she was completely without symptoms before, she was quite healthy and active. Her body responded very poorly to the chemo, and she also experienced hypercalcaemia of malignancy, which was what eventually took her life. This whole process has severely traumatized my family, my siblings and their families. We haven't done any counseling but it was heartrending to see how quickly mom deteriorated and was taken from us, we felt so powerless, and nothing seemed to work. I am sorry for sounding so negative, but it is hard to describe the loss we feel. My heart goes out anyone who has been afflicted by this horrendous type of cancer.
