We got the news today that my mother transitioned to AML. She has 45% blast in her bone marrow. They will put her in the hospital on Monday and she will start Clofarabine since they don't think her heart can take Induction Chemo. He also told us she is no longer making her own platelet or RBC. I am very concerned because she is bleeding heavily vaginally. The doctor said there was a 30% chance of getting her into remission and IF she was lucky enough to get remission it wouldnt be lasting. She will need to find a marrow donor and have a bone marrow transplant. The odds of the transplant taking? 30% I feel like I am in an uphill battle here, the odds are against us. She went from being so positive to crying and devastated. Not to mention she is terrified of hospitals, she is afraid she will go in and never get out. She is worried to see her grandkids tomorrow and Christmas because she is afraid it will be the last time she sees them. I hate this disease.
Please pray for my mother, Theresa. We need Christmas miracle in New York!
