Tragic news has emerged from the gaming community as popular streamer Kyedae “Kyedae” Shymko has shared on Twitter that she has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The 100 Thieves content creator revealed that she will be undergoing treatment soon, but is unsure how her body will respond, leading to the possibility of an inconsistent stream schedule. Our thoughts are with Kyedae and her loved ones during this difficult time.

What is Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)?

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a relatively uncommon type of cancer, particularly in people below the age of 45. The National Cancer Institute has reported that around 60% to 70% of adults with AML can achieve complete remission status if they receive appropriate induction therapy. It should be noted that these figures are applicable to patients who are under the age of 60 and receive immediate treatment. However, AML is known to be a potentially fatal type of leukemia and is considered to be the most fatal among its kind. Typically, chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs are the primary modes of treatment for AML.
