Turns out this isn't that much of an uncommon factor of AML AND survival of AML IS VERY POSSIBLE even with this "unknown bone disease" present. Didn't know that earlier, never was told...

I discovered the MDS factor when I read his death certificate, I was surprised to see a name for the "unknown bone disease" there, considering that just days earlier the ominous, mysterious difficult nature of this "unknown" element was still being explained as the reason behind why his AML was not treatable.
Hello, I happened to find this blog from the other one. I was looking at some of your posts and came upont his one. My husband to had MDS that transferred into AML. We to were told that this is why he could not achieve remission. That AML than starts as MDS is much harder to treat and complicates many things. Leukemia sucks to put it lightly.
