The Unique Supportive Care Needs of a Mother With Acute Myeloid Leukemia During Treatment

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer of the blood that is linked with poor survival. The disease requires immediate intensive chemotherapy treatment that leaves patients hospitalized for at least one month and often longer, depending on their supportive care needs. Mothers undergoing treatment for AML may benefit from having attention paid to their supportive care needs during that time.
