AML is usually fast-growing and needs to be treated quickly.</p><p>Blood is made up of different types of cells. These cells are made in the center of your bones, in a part called the bone marrow. When people have AML, their bone marrow makes abnormal blood cells instead of normal blood cells. These abnormal blood cells grow out of control, get into the blood, and travel around the body. Sometimes, these cells collect in certain parts of the body.</p><p>When the bone marrow makes abnormal blood cells, it does not make the normal blood cells a person's body needs. This can cause symptoms.</p><p><b>What are the symptoms of AML?</b></p><p>The most common symptoms of AML include:</p><ul><li><p>Feeling very tired and weak</p></li><li><p>Bleeding more easily than normal</p></li><li><p>Getting sick from infections more easily than normal</p></li></ul><p><b>Is there a test for AML?</b></p><p>Yes. Your doctor or nurse will talk with you and do an exam. They will also do:</p><ul><li><p>Blood tests</p></li><li><p>A bone marrow biopsy – A doctor will take a very small sample of your bone marrow. Then, another doctor will look at the cells under a microscope to see if abnormal (cancer) cells are present.</p></li></ul><p>There are different types of AML. The test results can show which type you have. The right treatment for you depends a lot on your age and the type of AML that you have.</p><p><b>How is AML treated?</b></p><p>Treatment for AML usually includes 2 parts.</p><p>The first part of treatment is called "induction of remission" and lasts about 4 weeks. During this part, people stay in the hospital and get chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the medical term for medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.</p><p>For people who are not well enough to get this much chemotherapy, there are other treatments. But they are generally not as effective.</p><p>Many people are in "remission" after chemotherapy. This means that doctors do not see any abnormal blood cells in the blood or bone marrow. But even though doctors do not see any abnormal cells, there are still abnormal cells in the body. To kill these cells and prevent AML from returning, people need more treatment.</p><p>The second part of treatment is called "post-remission therapy." During this time, people can have one or more of the following treatments:</p><ul><li><p>More chemotherapy – People might need to stay in the hospital for a few days each month to get chemotherapy. This treatment can last 3 or 4 months.</p></li><li><p>A bone marrow transplant (also called "stem cell transplant") – This treatment replaces cells in the bone marrow that are killed by chemotherapy or radiation. These "donor" cells can come from:</p><ul><li><p>People who are related to you, and whose blood matches yours</p></li><li><p>People who are not related to you, but whose blood matches yours</p></li><li><p>Blood (that matches yours) from a newborn baby's umbilical cord</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>One type of AML, called "acute promyelocytic leukemia" (or "APL"), is treated differently from other types. People with APL might get other types of medicine, either with or without chemotherapy.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="subscribe-area"><div class="container"><div class="row
