Battling Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Merchant7

I had a Brother that was a year older than I am, who passed away from Stage IV Liver Cancer in November, 2022, and I'm a 72 year old female, living with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.. I was Diagnosed with Leukemia on: April 27th, 2023, which was 5 month's after I lost my Brother... I stayed in the Hospital for about a week, because I had gotten so sick, and didn't know why I was having a lot of Chest Pain, Coughing, Night Sweat's, Headaches, and Shortness Of Breath, until I had a CBC done, and I was told that I had Blood Cancer.. I was on the Drug called: Gleevec, and it worked for about 19 month's, and it stopped working, and my Oncologist switched me to a new Drug called: Scemblix, 40mg twice Daily, and it has worked very well for me, now, my BCR-ABL1 is now at 0.050, which needs to be at, 0%, which should take me into: Molecular Remission.. I'm hoping to be at: 0%, by the time I see my Oncologist on: May 19th… My number has dropped significantly since May 1st, 2023.. I started out at: 84.50, and now at: 0.050.. My White Cell Count in the beginning of my Diagnosis, was at: 250 Thousand Plus, now at: 6 Thousand... The normal range is between: 4 Thousand, and 11 Thousand.. Would like to know if anyone has tried the Drug, Scemblix, and if so, how has it affected you??? I get thru this horrible disease one day at a time, and I 🙏 a lot... Would like to know, anyone else affected by: CML, how are you handling it??? If there is anything that I could help answer any question's about what I've learned about this Disease, feel free to reach out to me, and I would love to hear anything about what you have learned about this Blood Cancer…
