I was diagnosed in May 2018, with AML. I had a stem cell transplant in September 2018. Since the transplant I have had more UPS than downs. I count each day as a blessing. My biggest gift was.seeing my first grandchild Asher. He is 16 months old and even though Grandma has trouble lifting him at 28 pounds I am lucky to be feeling well to enjoy him. I feel.well...there are little issues but nothing that I can't handle. I am 71 years old. Best wishes to you.

It’s been 11 months since my first blood transfusion. I am now for the first time going 5 weeks between transfusions! No chemo just healthy living and trusting God. Blessing to all of you

My AML was diagnosed October 2022. Completed the V and V chemos until February 2023 when I went into remission. My AML includes the P53 translocation (2).
Fortunately, we had opinions from Sloan and Penn and a sibling with a hundred percent match. By early March, a transplant took place at Penn. We expected thirty days in the hospital following the heavy chemo and transplant.
This ended up being fifty days. They were wonderful working through side effects.
A few bumps in the road but all good.
Within a week of homecoming, I cooked a meal. Since I am semi- retired and can work from a home office, I decided to continue.
Life is social distancing, no travel, gardening and a few other restrictions since I have no childhood vaccines yet. ( similar to Covid restrictions).
Fortunately, my husband and I enjoy our company, home and Netflix.
Thankful for each day and choose to live in a happy world.
Think of living happy days and if you are type A, try type B.
Do what you can and accept the rest!
Prayers!

Prayer along your journey

I have it. Chemo has brought my blasts in check so far.
