This animation provides an overview of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood and bone marrow cancer that happens to persons who have too many abnormal cells called myeloblasts. It describes the causes, risk factors, and symptoms of AML, as well as the subtype of AML called acute promyelocytic leukemia (commonly referred to as APL or APML).
My brother died on AML M3. He survived 5 years following diagnosis.
My wife and I lost our just turned 2 year old son 7 months ago to Aml. He had MLL gene rearrangement or subtype KMT2A or 11q23. He had a translocation between chromosomes 6 and 11, t(6;11). He received cytarabine, daunorubicin, etoposide, gemtuzumab ozagamicin then mitoxNtrone and cytarabine. He relapsed after the second chemo which signified refractory Aml which had a poor prognosis. Decitabine with mylotarg was then used. He died shortly after from within 4 months of treatment. Some side effects he had were bloody nausea and diahrea. Horrible bloody mouth sores. He was in pain all over. His right eye was covered by a leukemia pool that ended up bleeding.He had a lot of liquid in his lungs which they thought was pnemonia. He ultimately died from a brain bleed within 24 hours caused we think by the chemo.
Thank you for sharing. I wish you and your wife the strength needed to recover.
