Dear Maryann
My girlfriend (who helped me through the beginning process as she got bc 2.5 yrs before me) got AML just after I was diagnosed. At the time (since I was just having my surgery and really didn't know anything yet) she told me it was that lightning struck twice but later admitted it was because of chemo (and that the cytoxan is the likely culprit). She is 18 months from her last treatment for AML and is doing wonderfully. She is also doing well on the bc front as well (she was only ER/PR+ ).
I am sure she would talk to you and if you would like, privately email me and I will get her your phone number so she can call you. She got treatment from Dr. Fazi Bari at Morristown General (Carol Simon Cancer Center) in Morristown, NJ.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kindest regards,
Becky
