Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Since your wifes WBC count has increased and 4% atypical cells are seen along with increased lactate dehydrogenase I would advise your wife to do a bone marrow biopsy to rule out blood cancer.
After getting the bone marrow biopsy, please upload the reports to discuss on the further management.

Brief Answer:
Complete response to chemotherapy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Their is no stage for such type of blood cancer.
Chemotherapy drugs will kill off many of your wifes normal bone marrow cells as well as the leukaemia cells.
If the treatment works, normal bone marrow cells come back in 2 to 3 weeks and start making blood cells again.
Overall, between 5 and 7 out of 10 people with adult acute myeloid leukaemia go into remission with induction chemotherapy meaning chemotherapy will provide complete response.
Even if she is in remission after the treatment a very small number of leukaemia cells may survive.
Although there may be too few to see in blood or bone marrow tests, the leukaemia is likely to come back without further treatment.
To try to stop this, she will have to go to the next stage of treatment, which is called consolidation therapy.
After she has her treatment finished she will need to have regular check ups. .
At first, they will be every few weeks.
If all is well, then she will go for follow up checkup every monthly for 3 months, then 2 monthly for 6 months, then 3 monthly for up to 3 years after her treatment.
