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.
He was survived by his second wife Dwina, 60, their son Robin-John, 30, and his two children from his first marriage, Spencer, 41, and Melissa, 39. Gibb also left four-year-old daughter Snow Robin, who he fathered with his live-in housekeeper Claire Yang, then 33, in 2008. But newly released details of Gibbâs will show the youngster will not inherit any of his estate. The revelation follows reports of a feud between Mrs Gibb and Miss Yang.
