Well the news on my uncle's health has gone from bad to worse. He got the diagnosis of AML Acute Myelogenous Leukemia yesterday. This morning, the oncologist was in and told him he had 3-6 months unless they can get it to go into remission. Odds are with his age and the fact that he is now an insulin dependant diabetic (thanks to the leukemia) that even with chemo, that may not be possible. If they can get him into remission, he will need a bone marrow transplant and again for the same reasons listed above, he may not be a candidate.

His first response was to say "no chemo". If he only had a short time, he didn't want to be miserable. He has now decided that he wants to at least give it a chance. Since he will be transferred to a hospital several hours from home, there will be major upheaval for his family. They will all need all the prayers they can get.
