I hope everyone is doing well. Had a long day.. Had my appt for chronically elevated WBC. Bottom line they drew blood to check for CML, Chronic myelogenous leukemia. She said I should not be worried, she doesn't thinkI have it, but at the same time there are people diagnosed at my WBC levels. Please Take care of yourselves.

    Blood draw

    Have you had a bone marrow biopsy done? That would deffinetly give you the answer if you have CML. There are at least 4 approved drugs for CML and more in the works. Most people live a fairly normal life now as to before the TKI drugs that are being used now.
