My stoach started hurting real bad about 2 onths ago, and I went to the er. They said I was just constipated and set me home. But the paid never went away so I went and saw another doctor. This time, they did blood work. The results came back, and I was told I needed to see an Ouncolagist. I didnt even know what kinda doctor that is so when I googled this doctor and saw cancer, I broke down. They took bone marrow and a biopsy, and those tests came back positive. Im freaking out so bad. I have 2 little girls 8 and 5, and I so scared I wont see them graduate highschool. The doctor I see the doctor next week and we're going to go over options. What's going to happen? Do I just take this pill and I'll be ok. I have a million questions, but I dont know where to start. Sorry if this is a bad post, I'm not all here |

I don't know a lot about CML,
I don't know a lot about CML, I have CLL. But from what I know, the word Chronic, indicates a slower growing cancer. Praying that this is true for you as well. I have 5 children and think the same thing, wishing to see them graduate, get married and maybe even have babies. Be real open and honest with your dr, ask a lot of questions. If you don't love your dr, find a new one, they will be an important part of your life from now on.

Hi,
Hi,
I too had a chronic type of leukaemia and I am here to tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I couldnt believe what they were telling me, it almost didnt feel real.
My cure was a bone marrow transplant, it wasn't an easy process but I am now in remission.
Stay strong, listen to your doctors and remember that there is hope.

Would you mind telling me why you had to resort to a Bone marrow transplant> Did you try drug therapy first? Thanks
