My dad was diagnosed with AML on Nov. 30. We have since found out that he has MDS making it very challenging to overcome leukemia. Despite all of this, we entered him into Induction Chemotherapy treatment at Stanford Medical Center for 6 weeks. After being discharged on Jan. 4, he started suffering from leg pain after one week. We have since discovered that a chloroma, or mass of leukemia cells, has formed at the base of his spinal cord. This mass is pinching nerves and he has loss the use of both legs. He is undergoing immediate focused radiation on this location to hopefully reduce or kill off the chloroma completely. The doctors fear he cannot undergo a second round of induction chemotherapy, but if we don't we aren't sure what the prognosis will be. Does anyone have any feedback or tips on this leukemia? Our mom is 58 and fighting Stage IV Leukemia. I'm 30, my sisters are 25, 19 and my brother is 23. We want to help our parents. Thank you in advance!
