About Me

I was diagnosed with Acute Mylogenous Leukemia (AML) on January 28th, 2008. I started chemotherapy on Feb 1st (induction round), and finished four consolidation rounds on Aug. 9th. I did not have a bone marrow transplant because the cytogentic abnormality that caused my leukemia was an inverted chromosome 16, which is often treatable with chemotherapy alone. A bone marrow biopsy was taken on Sept 22nd to confirm that I am still in remission.
