Also numb
Hello. I was diagnosed with M4 AML two months ago after going in for flu like symptoms. I'm 27. Right now I'm in consolidation therapy, doctors don't think I need a bone marrow transplant because it would be too risky, and I wouldn't be able to have children. Yes, I'm scared. But somehow I've managed this far.
