About this book
You just heard words that made your stomach drop: acute myeloid leukemia with a KAT6A-CREBBP fusion. Your doctor said something about chromosomes and a genetic re-arrangement, and your brain stopped processing after 'leukemia.' This guide is for that exact moment — and everything after it.
Written in warm, plain language, this guide walks you through what the disease actually is, why the fusion matters, what to expect in the coming weeks, and how to ask the right questions without feeling foolish. It covers symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, day-to-day life, and how to support a loved one — all without pretending it's easy or promising false hope. No medical degree required.
This is not a medical textbook and it is not medical advice. It's a lifeline — a knowledgeable friend who explains the basics, helps you prepare for appointments, and reminds you that you are not a statistic or a diagnosis. You're a person going through something hard, and you deserve to understand it.

★★★★★This guide is genuinely helpful — it explained the KAT6A-CREBBP thing in words I could actually understand, which was a huge relief after my doctor's appointment left me in a fog. I appreciated the chapter on not blaming yourself; I'd been spiraling about lifestyle choices that had nothing to do with it. The reason I'm not giving it five stars is that Chapter 1 felt a little long and I wanted more detail in the treatment options chapter, but I've still read it three times and passed it to my sister.
