Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) Support Group
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), also known as acute myeloid leukemia, is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells. Patients with AML usually present with symptoms such as fatigue, bleeding, infection, prompting medical attention. An abnormal blood test reading will then result in further testing in a hospital with a hematologist to determine AML.
Dear friends,
I just wanted to tell you all that my dear and wonderful father-in-law passed away comfortably last night, two months short of his 94th birthday. I knew him for 35 years. My children, including my son who is studying in Montreal, were there to see him only a few hours before he left us and it was a magnificent sight to watch grown adults (my youngest is 24) caressing and giving him a last kiss. Following the tenets of Jewish law, he will be interred today.
I appreciate the support that this awesome and caring group has given me and my family during this difficult time. I think that we should all appreciate life just a bit more, and hold our loved ones just a bit more tightly. Life is a present. Let's not squander a single moment.
We are all survivors. We must be. We will be.
Breathe in your family's love. It is an elixir that is simply indescribable.
