New diagnosis of AML

Hi. I was diagnosed in October with AML which came as a surprise. I was a fit thought healthy women. I’m on the victor trial which is going well but struggling with waiting for results. I’m trying to be positive but it’s hard. How are others coping with the wait?

  • Hello Guinness1 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with AML back in October but hopefully the results from your trial will bring good news when they come through.

    As you've mentioned in your post, waiting for results is tough and it can be hard to stay positive, but I'm glad you've reached out to us as our members will know all too well what you're going through, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I hope our guide on how to cope with waiting for news will prove useful too but if you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.

    We're here for you Guinness1 and sending all our support your way.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
