Yeah we kind of already knew that. Chemo is a last ditch treatment, it is really just trying to kill the “bad” part of you (cancer) before it manages to kill all of you. Trying to fix it when part of your body has turned against you is tough.
With AML as I just got a year ago - it isn’t a last ditch effort. It is the only treatment. Immediate 24/7 inpatient chemo for a week straight. That’s the first dose. Fatal within a couple of weeks. No other treatment available.
