I'm in the same boat.

I know it is two years later and I hope things have gone well for you.

In Aug. 2010 I was diagnosed with High-risk APL. Underwent induction therapy, three rounds of chemotherapy, then 2 years of oral chemotherapy. I completed treatment Mar 10, 2013. At the time I was 41 years old. I know what you mean about finding info for younger people.

June 19, 2013 I was diagnosed with severe treatment-related MDS and AML(M6). I had the chromosome 7 deletion and more than three genetic anomalies so the diagnosis was essentially terminal unless I received an urgent bone marrow transplant. I had the transplant Oct. 11, 2013.

It is nearly six months since the transplant and there is no sign of MDS or AML. Recovery has been bumpy but I am doing ok.

The MDS and AML were probably caused by idarubicin.

I'd love to know how you are doing.
