Nutrition, Eating, and Mealtimes for Older Adults with Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and their Care Partners

This is a study for people diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes who are receiving treatment with hypomethylating agents and Venetoclax. Specifically, we want to learn more about nutrition, eating, and mealtimes for older adults (age 60+) with these conditions and their care partners. Care partners can be a spouse, family member, or friend helping a patient with AML/MDS. We want to understand nutrition, eating, and mealtimes over time throughout the first two cycles of treatment. We also want to learn more about the quality of life for patients and care partners.
