Mom, 68, just diagnosed with lam. in the process of other tests and seeing a pulmo and nephrologist soon. thinks this is a death sentence and just very pessimistic. anxiety and social phobia sufferer all her life. can you give some positive details?

Untreated, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) can be a progressive disease, which means it can get worse over time. With the use of sirolimus, the hope is that the disease can be stabilized for most patients (though not all patients respond to the drug). In the past, the prognosis for patients with LAM was poor, but this is no longer true. Currently, more than 90% of patients are alive 10 years after

Never use abbreviations in medicine. They can be deadly. Leukemia Acute Myelogenous?? or what.
