I was 61 and diagnosed AML. 10% chance of survival. Give round 1 standard chemo. Offered an experimental drug I researched. Said NO. I chose to take the standard chemo drip drugs. that was nearly 12 years ago. Last Jan my Hematologist pronounced me CURED. A HUMONGOUS THANK YOU to each and everyone from nurses to the Extraordinary RESEARCHERS. THANK YOU for gifting me extended life.XXXXXX

My son was 19 when he was diagnoswd with AML in 2019. His outlook fell in the intermediate risk category. He did not require a stem cell transplant. Hes now 23 and married with a baby. Deo Gratias!

My best friend, Helen died of that and we used to talk a lot R.I.P Helen we miss u

[@marcysikes]

He talks about younger people and older people. My nephew, age 51, was just diagnosed with either AML or MDS after a bone marrow biopsy and will receive chemo for 28 to 30 days. We are hoping and praying for a cure. I guess he falls into the younger group since chemo has been prescribed . Update: more testing. it is AML with TP53. We are very concerned. He is a big man, 6’5” and around 300 pounds. Praying for a cure!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 He has been told it is terminal! 6 months to 1 year to live. So sad!

[@SonicAndWoody]

Hello there,
In general, AML is not hereditary. Some environmental exposures may cause an increased risk of developing AML. To read about risk factors for AML, I invite you to read this article from our website: healthtree.org/aml/community/articles/who-is-at-risk-for-aml

[@kirbyd0g]

But what is the quality of life like living 15 to 18 months?

[@HTUforBloodCancers]

Hi there! For resources about quality of life while living with AML, you can take a look at this article on our website: healthtree.org/aml/community/articles/ash-2022-treatment-vs-quality-of-life

[@Anti-leftist7777]

Wow, not much hope. It would be nice to have a rich sister who would pay for an extended vacation where the girls are gorgeous and the fishing is remarkable, otherwise I’m in despair 😮

[@Bobthebuilder-gn8ur]

My brother is 25 years old and I’m great shape he was just diagnosed what are his chances

[@SonicAndWoody]

how is he?

[@Katie75023]

Why in the world would someone with AML or some other type of leukemia want to prolong their suffering?! Especially after 2 failed rounds of IV chemo treatments!😷🙄🩸

[@danielaborzi3268]

My best friend is suffering soooo much from failed chemotherapy for acute leukaemia. He is 64 years old and put off to palliative care where you wait to die slowly. I do not wish it on anyone 😢
