Wendy, I'm sure you are struggling at this time. I know how scarry it is to hear this type of news. I don't have CML but my 30 year old son does. He is busy in med school and he and his wife say they don't have time to worry so I do the worrying for all three of us. (they also have 3 children) He was diagnosed over 2 years ago.
This sight is a great place to find support and answers to your questions. I have found such caring people who have been there when I have had down days and I'm sure you will find this type of support too. One thing I can say is that I hear more and more positive things happening with CML and treatments. My son responded right away and that lasted for 2 years. Then he lost his response and they have increased his gleevec twice, since then and yet I can still see things that are positive in this type of cancer. One thing is that the experts now say that CML is beginning to be considered a chronic disease, much like diabetes, and I think that is very postive. In addition, new drugs are in trials that are showing really good results and that too is positive. What I guess I am trying to tell you is that this is a good place to come for support and that even though this is terrible news there is a bright spot on the horizon. People with CML are leading active and productive lives and you can too. My son began medical school 3 months after diagnosis and we never thought that would happen but with gleevec his response was rapid and he continues to do well, even after his last blood tests haven't been too good. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Best of everything as you learn and adjust to this new world and all that it involves. There are loving and caring people out here and we wish all of the best for you. Best of luck Penny M New!
