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.
Jamie called me this morning after his doctor made her morning rounds, he said the last bone marrow biopsy was sent to Mayo clinic and no gene mutation was detected, Praise the Lord! As you can imagine Jamie was overcome with a flood of emotions as he was relaying this joyous news to me and together we cried tears of joy and thanks , greatful that the lord has answered are prayers. He was told that he should leave the hospital at the end of the week concluding his first round of consolidation . The doctor also mentioned that he will most likely be going to barnes hospital in St Louis for testing for bmb this month.
God Bless

Each round takes a little more to recover so if you can get as much strength back as possible it helps a lot :)
Really happy to hear that. Follow his doctor's and Aussimum's advice and he will do fine. Make sure he exercises as much as possible to keep his muscles strong.

Check carefully whether he is still neutrapenic when leaving -- just because they let him go does not mean he can resume normal life. I had some of my worst times between consolidation rounds and I was doing everything I could to stay isolated from the world of germs and bacteria. You just cannot be too careful -- dave
I'm praising almighty God along with you and Jaime for His Devine intervention!!! Ditto what everyone has said about exercise and isolation. At this stage, you cannot be too cautious with regard to germ exposure.
