    Hello
    My two years old nephew was diagnosed with Acute erythroblastic
    (myeloblastic) leukemia type M6 (AML M6) on March 7 2005. As we understood
    doctors it is very rare type of leukemia. Only 5% of people diagnosed with
    leukemia has M6 type. Sufring the internet we have found only few articles
    about treatment of M6 type leukemia. In the Croatia (Europe) our nephew is
    the first child patient with that rare disease. Since blood and bone marrow
    tests showed very bad results the doctors have decided that tommorow on
    March 28 2005. he starts to get chemotherapy. We are afraid about
    chemotherpy outcome and already think about bone marrow transplantation.
    Nephew has five years old sister and she has been tested as possible bone
    marrow donor, but the results will not come in next four weeks.
    Please send me information about doctors, patients and bone marrow donor
    centers, or any other kind of information related to treatment of AML M6
    leukemia.
    We are despaired please send any advice!
    God bless you!
