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.

Just wanted to give an update on my wife Hayley. June 27 was her one year transplant birthday and things are almost perfect. We just happend to go to Vanderbilt that exact day and they did extra bloodwork and a few other things along with her LAST bmb. Couple of days later we found out the biopsy looked great. I don't post much but look at the site every now and then and get caught up. It's such a blessing to have a group of good people like all of you. Especially for the new people that come across the site with a google search like I did just searching for a few answers. God Bless you all.

Thanks
Shane & Hayley

Shane,

It is nice to hear good news. Give an extra squeeze to Hayley for me. I am sure that your lives are returning more and more to normal. Soon, all of this will just be a bad dream.

Be well,

Loved reading this update! Just what I needed this week. My hubby (41 yrs old) is currently day +13 from an Allo-mud stem cell transplant. He's in second complete remission (orig dx February 2013, favorable type /low risk AML inversion 16, remission after induction, unfortunately relapsed April 10 2014, cr2 may 28th, SCT July 10)
There's not a lot of cr2s on the boards so I am always thrilled to hear more success stories.
Relapse was much more difficult (mentally and emotionally) for us than original dx. Mostly bc we knew how much we would be apart from our 2yesr old lil girl. But finding this site and all of you has helped so much!
Best wishes Shane for continued health for Hayley!
Lea and Tony
