Brief Answer:
unfortunately she has got AML

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. However, it is quite clear that she has got AML.

This is a potentially curable disease. The first step would be to do the cytogenetic tests. Simultaneously she should be started on chemotherapy. It is an intensive treatment and the first few weeks are critical. Infections require antibiotics and blood product support will be vital.

From your other query I understand she is 2 months pregnant. This would mean getting it terminated before chemotherapy.

Hope for the best. Do take care
