My Dad Was Diagnosed With AML In April 2024, Was In Remission In May And Then Relapsed 2wk Ago. He Took Ventoclex. Now, They Are Saying They
I just learned that medication can "control" an illness until the cells mutate and then the medication become ineffective. The good news is that medications are developing to replace medications which are not effective. I have CLL and I take Brukinsa which uses the BTK Inhibitor to attach to bad B or T cells to inactivate the cells and does not attack healthy organs or cells. My medication was FDA approved 12/22. I know the next medication being tested for approval will use the BCL2 ("B" Cell Leukemia 2) which attacks the B cell mitochondria to inactivate the cell. I hope your medical people can provide another solution and lots of answers so that you know what is happening to you and to benefits and ill affects possible? I know my medication had some bad ill affects listed but I did not have any ill affects?

Relapse in AML can be challenging, but treatments like targeted therapies, clinical trials, or stem cell transplants might be Show Full Answer
