Thank you. An old friend called me recently. His mother was feeling unwell and went to the hospital on a Wednesday. Two days later on Friday she passed away. It was AML. It’s a terrible and fast moving cancer. But, we do live in inspiring times for new cancer research and prophylactic meds. Because of fast acting dr’s I’m here. A donor stem cell transplant was needed because an aggressive mutation. (No baking Aida in the world would have fixed me. I can’t believe what I read sometimes).
Glad you got through it so well. My buddy had a rough time when he had his BMT. He was in and out of the Hospital for nearly a Year, but he made it through.
While my CLL is currently treatable, I also have MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) which will probably require a Bone Marrow Transplant if it becomes more aggressive.
MDS has a habit of morphing into Acute Leukemia, so my Oncologist is keeping an eye on it.
The same time I was told my CLL was in Remission I was told that I also had MDS. I told my Oncologist that I didn’t realize he was having a BOGO Sale.
