I was asking if there is anyone using this site who has AML and is not eligible for a bone marrow transplant.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society should be able to help you locate a clinical trial closer to you.

There are clinical trials going on at various centers in New York State but that’s very far from you.

Yes I also have AML and was on the transplant path but they ran the numbers and gave me only a 10 to 20% chance of a cure. My doctor told me that even with a transplant they thought that my cancer would come back. I am 63. My blood cell count has been chronically low. I will go back on chemo in a week. I have decided to focus on quality of life. My doctor suggested I look for clinical trials. I looked at the Mayo Clinic but they want you to be treated at one of their clinics not in my state. I don't feel comfortable traveling. Does anyone know of any AML clinical trials?
