With my dad, the dr. suspected he had gone into developing aml when transfusions and chemo stopped working. It was never confirmed, though. He just started going down hill and eventually everything just started shutting down. He started sleeping more, eating less, etc. One day he couldn't even get out of bed, and that had never happened before. That was the last day before he passed. For all we know, he didn't have aml and may have just given out!
One thing I've noticed though is that getting aml doesn't always mean the "end", apparently, not for everyone. I keep reading about people on here who have aml, but yet they are still going to get chemo. I guess there are different factors for different people!
