Induction therapy and probable BMT

I saw the hemo at the James today. Tuesday I get another BMB. Then Thursday I am admitted for 7+3 induction chemo. He expects I will end up with a transplant. It has all gone so fast from stable 5q- to AML. My head is spinning and my emotions are all over the place. I am trying to get my affairs in order, deal with work, finances, insurance. It feels like so much. Then there is the month in the hospital thing that feels overwhelming in itself. I am trying to plan ahead while just being in the moment. For now I want to just sleep.
