Well I had my bone marrow transplant about 6 or so months ago now. I'm back in hospital with complications and graph vs host disease. They are working on it & hopefully things will get better. Scared but hopeful
My dad got AML on November 25, 2008 and died from this disease on May 6, 2010. Dad said he wish he had never done the chemo. I think it did not work because of his age was 71 years old. The doctors refused to do a bone marrow because they say it does not work on people over 55 years of age. This is a horrible disease and i wish you all the best.
OMG I'm so happy to see someone has made it through this horrible disease. I was diagnosed late october last year with AML. I'm going to hopefully have the stemcell transplant in january. I already underwent rounds of chemo. Please send me a msg if you see this ok. Thanks & BIG HUGSSSSSSSSSSS :)
@KraftyKatsy i was diagnosed with AML same as u and had chemotherapy, total body irradiation and stemcell transplant, it was depressing at first because of the side effects that i had like vomiting, lost weight, rashes all over my body and at the same time doctors can't assure me that i will be disease free, but now i can totally say i fine and back to my normal life thanks to my supporting family. just think positive! u will be ok and i will pray 4 u!
Thanks for sharing My brother Alan 52 has Acute Leukemia and Hep C We got the word yesterday an the family of course is in shock. He is in intentive care They are washing his blood and going to start Chemo. I know he has a battle ahead and he thinks he going to die. He has a 50/50 chance with treatment. He is in poor health. I had sinus cancer when I was 9 and had to go thru radiation therapy etc. the doctors told my parents i had maybe 6 mo. I am now 50 and the cancer never came back.
