I was diagnosed with AML Feb. 24, 2024. I went thru chemo till May 2024. Did it with the help of protocol- google Joe Tippens videos, I believe it helped me. In remission but taking 2 chemo pills each month to hopefully keep it away.

The length of maintenance treatment with oral chemotherapy varies greatly from person to person and depends on many individual factors that only your oncology team can properly evaluate. It's wonderful to hear that you've achieved remission - that's a significant milestone worth celebrating. Many people in this community have questions about maintenance therapy duration, so connecting with others who've had similar experiences might provide valuable support and perspective during this phase of your journey.

I completely agree that maintenance therapy timelines are so individual - it might also be worth asking your team about what specific markers they're watching to help guide those decisions along the way.
