Yesterday I met the mother of the only other patient who CHOC have treated for APML (Leukemia) in recent times. She told me her son has undergone treatment for approximately 3 years; including 8 months in Christchurch and a further 2 years on maintenance at home. It was awesome meeting this family to find out more about the treatment and what we can expect in the future. The last patient that was treated for APML was 10 years ago!
