But what really is acute myeloid leukemia?

About Kyedae’s Disease

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This illness is considered the most common kind of acute leukemia among adults. This type of cancer usually worsens quickly if the patient is not treated immediately. Acute myeloid leukemia is also referred to as acute myelogenous leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

According to health experts, acute myeloid leukemia’s causes and risk factors include aging, previous cancer treatment, exposure to radiation, exposure to dangerous chemicals, smoking, and genetics, among others. 

Fever, bone pain, lethargy, fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin, frequent infections, easy bruising, and unusual bleeding are the symptoms of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

So far, the only available pieces of news about this are Kyedae’s announcement of her disease last March and the update from her last May that she will not be able to attend engagements she has been invited to due to her illness. 

From us here at PVP Live, we wish for Kyedae to get well soon.
