Suggest Treatment For Leukamia
Hello,
My husband's maternal uncle has been diagnosed with AML - M2. He has been hospitalized ever since.. He's platelet count has been fluctuating ever since which is being taken care of by his immediate family. Just today we were informed that he is down with fever and ever since hasn't passed urine. I just wanted to know if this kind of leukemia is curable and getting a temp during the treatment is normal?
