AML shock.

Hi my mum has just been diagnosed with acute myloid leukemia. This has been quite a shock not only to mum but all our family. She had been suffering for some months with anemia and suddenly went down hill last month. Questions are constantly going around in my head, why my mum? She was always as fit as a fiddle until 2 knee replacements, which I've questioned, after studying the effects of metallosis on the body. 😦
