Re: [CML] Newly Diagnosed

[Rob]

Welcome to the group Wendy.   CML is one of the most treatable types of leukemia. There is a lot of information at http://cmlhope.com on the various types of treatment methods available. Gleevec is the treatment used by most patients and there are other new drugs such as BMS and AMN that will be on the market in the future which have an even higher success rate than Gleevec.   Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendy Bradburn To: CML@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2005 7:40 AM Subject: [CML] Newly Diagnosed Hello,   My name is Wendy and I was diagnosed with CML this past Wednesday.  This is turned out to be more difficult for me to deal with than I thought it would be.  I knew there was the possibility of it while I was going through all the tests but to be told you have cancer is devastating.  I have been reading up on it and the treatment of Gleevec but I don't really have any idea what to expect.  I also have a mass the found during a routine mammogram so I have to have that biopsied next week to determine what it is before they can start the Gleevec.  The thoughts of having two separate types of cancer is beyond devastating.  Any advice any of you could give me would be greatly appreciated.  What to look for, what to expect, etc.  My family is supportive but they don't know what it's like to have cancer as none of them have it.  Please help.   Thank you so very much.   Wendy New!
