Question Venetoclax

Hi gang. I havent posted in years. I used to post under Honey. My MDS transformed to AML Aug last year. I had been on Azacytadine and Lenolidamide prior to that for a year. I was put in hospital almost immediately for induction therapy but it failed and I was sent home with two months to live. I researched a trial drug and was approved for a IDH inhibitor drug which was working amazingly and got my blasts from 76% to 13% but I did not achieve remission and it has now failed. It gave me 6 months. They are now thinking of Venetoclax. I was told if I do not have treatment I would have 2 months if I do go on Venetoclax I may have 6 months. Im stunned, all the reading I have done shows remarkable response even remission. Im not sure why I have such a low survival. I would appreciate any advice regarding the drug. Thank you

Honey
