It's not the news you hoped for, but AML is like MDS -- there are different subtypes with different prognoses. The chromosome report will let the doctors figure out what subtype they're dealing with. While I know little about AML, I do know that with MDS one of the most important things for a good outcome is to find a specialist. I expect the same is true for AML. I am praying for your wife and also pray that you find good doctors to help you through your journey.
