Hello JillHe
I'm sorry to hear that your son-in-law has recently been diagnosed with AML. I'm sure this is a difficult time for you all and it's natural that you will have questions.
We have information on our website about AML, which you may find helpful to read through. It's worth remembering that survival depends on many factors. His clinical team will be best placed to talk with him and the family about his outlook.
If it would help to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can.
Sending you all our best wishes,
Jenn
