"I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in September 2017. I knew I wasn’t feeling very well, but the idea that I had leukaemia was very scary."

In this webcast from the 'MRD in Hematologic Malignancies: Testing Considerations and Challenges' symposium, Dr. Gail J. Roboz discusses the role of minimal residual disease (MRD) testing in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Acute myeloid leukemia, often shortened to AML, is a type of cancer affecting the stem cells in the bone marrow. It is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults, but can develop in children too.
Although AML is more common in older people, it can affect people of any age.
AML develops quickly, which is why it is termed “acute”, and is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.
It is important for everyone to fully understand the signs and symptoms to ensure a diagnosis is made as early as possible.
This animation provides an overview on the common signs and symptoms of AML. Please watch it and share it amongst your network using #KnowAML

"My mum was saying, 'It's fine, you just have an infection, it's fine, it's fine, they're going to fix it.' But I knew."
Leah was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) at the age of 22, but only after she made multiple visits to her GP, and an admittance from a haematologist that she was only given a blood test after crying during her appointment.
To kick-start our September #SpotLeukaemia campaign, Leah shares her story in this video.
