I think that she will take great comfort from the quilt and from the fact that you made it for her.
AML is a very bad diagnosis. The only real hope is a bone marrow transplant.If she has siblings, encourage her to get them to be tested to see if they are matches. I was diagnosed with AML in 1999 and my brother was a partial match. I went to the best cancer hospital in Boston, the Dana-Farber Cancer Center. It was inconvenient for my family to visit but my transplant took and the leukemia hasn't come back for 12 years!! So strongly urge her to find the best physicians in her area that specialize in hematology-oncology and seek them out as consults and consider going to them even if she has to travel
a distance.
Give her my best wishes. - Judy
