article said she died of AML

for our sake, i'm hoping the real cause is a RF Factor* deficiency.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common types of leukemia among adults. This type of cancer is rare under age 40. It generally occurs around age 60. (This article focuses on AML in adults.)

AML is more common in men than women.

Persons with this type of cancer have abnormal cells inside their bone marrow. The cells grow very fast, and replace healthy blood cells. The bone marrow, which helps the body fight infections, eventually stops working correctly. Persons with AML become more prone to infections and have an increased risk for bleeding as the numbers of healthy blood cells decrease.

Most of the time, a doctor cannot tell you what caused AML. However, the following things are thought to lead to some types of leukemia, including AML:

Certain chemicals (for example, benzene)

Certain chemotherapy drugs, including etoposide and drugs known as alkylating agents

Radiation

Problems with your genes may also play a role in the development of AML.

You have an increased risk for AML if you have or had any of the following:

A weakened immune system (immunosuppression) due to an organ transplant

Blood disorders, including:

Polycythemia vera

Essential thrombocythemia

Myelodysplasia (refractory anemia)

Exposure to radiation and chemicals

Thanks for posting this. RIP, Nora. I was wondering if she had possibly been "treated" for another type of cancer prior to the leukemia...
