As a charity, we rely on volunary contributions to provide this information. The aim of treatment for acute myeloblastic leukaemia is to destroy the leukaemia cells and allow the bone marrow to work normally again.
Chemotherapy is the main form of treatment.
Your doctor will plan your treatment by taking into consideration a number of factors, including your age and general health. You may find that other people with leukaemia at the hospital are having different treatment from you. This will often be because their illness takes a different form, so they have different needs. It may also be because doctors take different views about treatment. If you have any questions about your own treatment, don't be afraid to ask your doctor or nurse.
