Hello, I am a 71, almost 72 yr old. Was diagnosed with AML 10 mos ago. Was getting regular bloodwork done for my PCP. Had no idea anything was wrong until I got a call from my Dr on a Sat afternoon. She told me that I had "Pancytopenia", she had already contacted an oncologist who saw me promptly the following week. Then, I had a whole panel more of bloodwork and a Bone Marrow Aspiration. I started chemo early Dec. '24. I am on oral chemo, Venetoclax/Inqovi, just finished my 5th cycle. I am in remission, and was informed I was eligible for a BMT. After much discussion with family and friends, decided against the transplant. It's a brutal procedure, even with modifications for my being older and with other health issues. So, I'm staying the course with the oral chemo and when things change or I relapse, we'll go from there.
