Very lovely story! Kudos to you and your wife.

Unfortunately, chemo can cause leukemia. I know of several who died of the cure.

But what to do?

Yes it does, it starts as MDS and then to AML. I have AML. But? MDS turn MDS is really stubborn. I’ve lost several FB friends on my support site from this.

What do you do? Get yearly blood tests, bi yearly blood tests to check cbs’s. Luckily, there is a new drug Vidazza which is helping many with MDS. Blood cancer is in an amazing phase of new treatments. It was stagnant for a long time.

But, that is the scary part indeed.
