Hi Hope
Induction therapy is chemo, he had the 7+3 regimen, cytarabine and daunorubicin in an attempt to reduce the blasts to under 5% before transplant. Once the blasts are under 5% then we'll meet with the transplant team and set up a date. Having confidence in your doctor helps a great deal as does being close to family and friends for support.
My husband just turned 58 when he was diagnosed in May.
Best wishes next week,
Debbie
