My name is Paula and I was diagnosed with AML in September 2022. This was purely by chance as I had not been ill and it was only discovered after I had a private medical in December 2021. I was told then that my blood work wasn’t right but they didn’t know why. Had a bone marrow biopsy in august and was told in September. I still didn’t feel ill and was working out regularly. Got admitted in September and had three rounds of gruelling chemo then a double dose of full body radiotherapy before having a cord transplant in February 2023.
I had lots of side effects the worst being sickness and I lost 2 1/2 stone. Was in a wheelchair when I was discharged as I was so week.
I am now my normal weight and exercise 5 times a week. Hair growing back and I’m feeling more like my old self.
this is a horrible disease but always believe you can get through it.
good luck to everyone going through this treatment
