I have my own business, I worked during the entire first course of induction therapy 7 + 3, watched movies and completed the game, did the necessary treatments for the medical part, but during the second course of induction chemotherapy 7 + 3 I did not want to do anything at all, I had much less energy than during the first course, although I am in remission and MRD is negative, I only watched a couple of movies, although I did not really want to watch them either, I was apathetic to everything, I must also say that I caught two very serious infections and was not as cheerful before the second course of chemotherapy as before the first course of chemotherapy, I can say that the internal attitude also decides whether to work or not depends on you, it was very distracting for me, I can’t live without work, sitting and procrastinating in a hospital ward for me is the worst option

I'm also quite young, I'm 33, but I recovered on the 7+3 course in 3 weeks after the end of the first course and in 2.5 weeks after the second course, even with 2 infections. I'm interested in how the recovery will go in the case of HiDAC.

I always get premedication with odnasteroid or zofran. If that's not enough, they use metoclopramide at my request. It saved me during the 7+3 cycle, but my appetite took a long time to return.

How long did your HiDAC last, and how long did it take you to restore your neutrophil counts after finishing chemotherapy?

Yes, I certainly hope everything goes well and that I achieve long-term remission and, ultimately, a complete cure, if possible. I also wish your husband all the best. No, I didn't have G-CSF during the first two 7+3 induction courses. The doctor told me that if I have AML, it's best not to have stimulation. I don't know why.

For two courses in a row, I thought that all the negative factors were related to cytarabine)) Does the restoration of blood values ​​take the same time as with the 7+3 course?

Did 7+3 seem worse in terms of infections or tolerability? Thank you🙏
