MY mom hasacute myeloid luekemia - she was diagnosed over a year ago.  So far she gets chemo shots for a week once every four weeks.  When she was first diagnosed, she would have to get blood transfusions every now and then, but within the las few weeks, she has been receiving them weekly.  In fact she had a blood transfusion las Thursday and she ended up having another one yesterday.  I know you can not know her whole case, but I am wondering if this is a normal progression of the disease?  She is getting weaker and weaker.  Can you give me any insight?
