Talked to Mom a little more tonight. This round of chemo is a series of two and a half hour treatments, once a day. So Dad will start them at 9:30pm and they'll go until midnight. Three different drugs will be given during that time.
The doctors told them that he has a chromosomal mutation called FLT3. You can look it up for more detailed info, but basically, the FLT3 is extremely resistant to chemotherapy.
I don't know where all this leaves us. I think too much info is not always good because it blocks what we should really be focusing on. I know, for me, it's been way too much to process today. I am also going to block all websites to AML and just listen to the doctors - TMI - too much information.
More tomorrow.
