Acute Myeloid Leukemia at 74
Laid it all out on me, my dad 74 was diagnosed with AML last week, He is in good general health however. What are the prognostics?
He started to be out of breath a few weeks ago and underwent blood test and b12 injection which had no effect, a bone marroe biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
Type is still under analysis, will update when i get it. He got blood transfusion friday may 8, and excepted his weird yellow tint he seems to feel good.
He will start the 7+3 chemo regimen in 8-9 days, which i find strange, why not right now?
I feel its pretty much a year or so of nightmare with odds stacked against him. What you all honestly think?
I will document along the way,
