my father was diagnosed a year ago with MDS but had signs for about a year before that. for the last month he was beginning to feel really bad, and finally he got the news yesterday that he has AML. from my understanding, when AML comes from MDS is harder to treat. is that true? also, is the chemo for AML tolerable for a 71yr man who looks and feels quite ill?

if anyone can help me i would be greatly appreciative. i have a 6 month old daughter and i would like for her grandpa to celebrate her first birthday with her.

thank you for your time
