Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APL)

Being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) can be a shock, particularly when you may never have heard of it. If you have questions about APL – what causes it, who it affects, how it affects your body, what symptoms to expect and likely treatments – this booklet covers the basics for you. You’ll also find useful advice about how to get the best from your haematologist, plus practical advice on how to help important people in your life understand such a rare condition.
