Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)
White cells help us fight infection and disease and AML is a cancer of one of these white cells, the myeloid cells.
The most common symptoms are feeling tired, bruising, being prone to infection and for some pain in their bones. The cause is unknown.
Blood tests, bone marrow sample and a lumbar puncture are the tests which will be done to diagnose AML. The treatment includes chemotherapy, steroids and radiotherapy.
