Hey there! 🌟 So, about venetoclax for AML, it's the new superhero in town, targeting that sneaky BCL-2 protein that keeps those cancer cells partying. πŸŽ‰πŸ’Š Combining it with other meds like azacitidine or decitabine can really pack a punch against AML. Side effects-wise, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but mostly manageable stuff like nausea and fatigue. make sure to discuss the different treatment option with your doc, weigh the options, and see if venetoclax fits your needs. Hang in there, warrior! πŸ’ͺ

I've had some experience with targeted therapies like venetoclax for AML, and it's been quite a journey. Venetoclax is a newer drug that specifically targets a protein called BCL-2, which helps cancer cells survive. From my experience, the side effects weren't too bad, mostly fatigue, but everyone's different. Stay strong, and keep pushing forward! πŸ’ͺ🌟
