Leukemia
On the 13th of April last year I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with an mpn 1 marker. I had 4 intensive cycles of chemotherapy and in September I needed a bone marrow transplant.
Today I got the latest results from my consultant after a bone marrow biopsy last week and I'm in complete remission without any trace of leukemia. I'm on cloud nine today and I'm adding a milgauss to my modest collection to celebrate.

Congrats! The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is out primary charity as it is prevalent on my wife's side of the family. It's nice to hear about a "win" for a change.

Amazing!!!!! While I don't know you, hearing this will be the highlight of my day. My sister in law is going through chemo now for breast cancer and it takes such a strong person to get through it -- can't state enough how much respect I have for you (without knowing u!), and so glad that you are clear!!!!
