Are there treatments available for 77 year old men with acute myeloid leukemia . Is stem cell ,or bone marrow  possible at that age? I have an uncle who was told he has AML and it seems it was very advanced when found. His white count has climbed from 48,000 to 116,000 in about 5 days despite taking chemo pills. He today started a very aggressive chemo which he was told a week ago he would not be up to taking. Does this appear to you as a last resort attempt to help him . This is the reason for my first 2 questions.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can better understand your concern for your uncle, what ever he is on is the only option remained for him, no one can say that this is last attempt, natural remission is the golden chance and every patient who are suffering from such disease can be benefitted with this, never give off the hope every thing will be okay, hope this information helps you take good care of your father.
