This type of Leukemia is a very rare and there is a very little chances of surviving with this kind of cancer. Acute Myeloid Leukemia is both cancer to blood and bone in which the exact cure hasn't been found and it can only be treated by through chemotherapy. This type of cancer just killed my cousin just a few days ago. The spread of cancer is very rapid the symptoms just showed up a 3 weeks ago. At first you may not believe it because if you would see my cousin he didn't seems to feel anything within the 2 weeks period only just his having a fever of 40 degrees but his body is still in good shape though there were already findings that his white blood cells turns into 40 then a few hours it turns to 80 then in another hours in turns into 110. That time the doctors suggested to scheduled him for chemotherapy but his body turns week because he already start coughing with blood his urine turns into blood then he start to feel the pain his whole body the cancer has already destroying his cells causing the pain and to get worst minute by minute. Then on Monday around 11pm he was declared dead. According to his doctor this cancer or leukemia is very rare the ratio is 1 over 1 million and there is no study that proves how it can be cured and where could we actually get it. What the doctor's trying to say is that no matter how healthy you are you would be possibly have this kind of sickness.
