There are two phases of treatment for AML. The first phase is called induction therapy. The purpose of induction therapy is to kill as many of the leukemia cells as possible and induce a remission, a state in which there is no visible evidence of disease and blood counts are normal.
Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb died of kidney failure, not cancer as was widely reported, his son Robin John has said. The popstarâs son revealed: âIt wasnât the cancer that killed my father; those reports are wrong.
And the whole family did. Nobody really knew how to deal with it all, because it's the loss of three brothers, says Gibb, referencing fellow Bee Gee's and twin brothers Maurice Gibb and Robin Gibb, who died in 2003 and 2012 respectively, as well as Andy Gibb, a solo performer who passed away unexpectedly in 1988.
