AML diagnosis

Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with AML. It was found by accident and seems to be just starting. I am shortly going to hospital to start chemotherapy. And the doctors are giving me 3 drugs, apparently the treatment is strong as they have found positive signs and I'm not old. Only 51, and still got a life to live.

it's scary not knowing the future and having to go through treatment. Staying massively positive and willing myself to beat this diagnosis 

  • Hi Howden.  So sorry about your AML diagnosis.  You have every right to be scared......getting a cancer diagnosis is scary indeed, but the fact that you are positive is brilliant, because I think that very often, a positive attitude plays a huge part in beating illnesses.  Everyone on this forum has either had cancer, or still got cancer or they are nursing a loved one who has this disease.  Connecting with folks who have walked in your shoes can be very comforting, and I wish you the very best of luck Howden, Violet, x
