My husband has AML - first diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago - remission for two years - relapse in June.  Is now doing a bone marrow transplant.  Would like to talk with others going through this.  My first time on ANY message board - anywhere.  

hello.

my husband also has AML. we are waiting on a bone marrow donor/match. how long does it take usually to find one? we are just getting started with this whole process and i'm afraid...w found out in november 2008 and he was sent immediately to the lackscancer center in downtown grand rapids, michigan. he was there for about 46 days and then came home and had to go back for a week. the doctors told us that he had 90% luekemia cells running through his body but, when he left the hospital from all the chemo and everything he only had 20% which is a miracle. if you need to talk i'm here.

my name is larrine.

hope all goes well and god bless (=
