65 year old with accute Leukemia - Chemo req?

Hi,

My dad is 65 year old with diabetic history of 20 years.

He is diagnosed with AML (Accute Myleoid Leukemia) M-7 (Accute Megakaryoblastic leukemia) with 33% blasts in blood smear.

Doctor suggested aggressive chemotherapy on him.

Kindly suggest if it's right to follow doctors suggestion ? I'm worried about the stage of the disease and also the trauma that he has to go through with this kind of therapy.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Cbabum
