To anyone who can answer,
My mom was recently diagnosed with aml, unfortunatly she did not make it out of the hospital. My mom got a bruise on her chest on march 18, 2008(not sure if this was an early sign). She had started feeling weak on Easter. By tuesday she had another bruise but this time on her leg. She got a headache also on tuesday and it was so bad that she want to chop her head off. The headache was continuing so she had gone to her doctor which told her to she had a sinus infection and to give the bruise on her chest a couple of days. They were really worried about the bruise on her leg so they sent her to the hospital to get a ultrasound for a blood clot. The ultrasound came back normal. Now here is were I dont understand. My mom never woke up the next mourning, she was breathing and barely made it to the hopital. 3 hours later we were told she had aml. Also she had internal bleeding along with brain swelling with a bleed, 21 hours later she past. I am on this board to find out if any one can explain this to me? I just dont understand how this could be missed.
