Email From My Dad This Morning

Well, I can't be sure but I think I'm in trouble.  Thanks to my alert Dermatologist I hopefully will be early in fighting this new disease.  What I pick up is that it can be caused by a earlier Chemo....Go Figure!!!!!  My Dermatologist is going to recommend that I go to a doctor at the University of Washington.  I am going to go for that second opinion as fast as I can.. Regardless of what the test show on my arm I still have all the symptoms of AML..
 
Shortness of Breath
Back-joint pain
imature lymph cells
low level neutrophil  1.2
4 months ago ITP
WBC 3.6
 
This new round of chemo will be very strong as the success rate is not good...3 weeks to 3 months..  Acute AML
