Hi Wendy,
    You have to come to the right place.  My husband also has CML and this site has been a constant source of information and support.  It is a very tough time for you, try to let others help out and don't be afraid to lean on everyone.  Try to gather as much information as you can because knowledge is power and you need to have that as you work with your Dr. to manage your treatment.  You have to stay on top of the lastest info because, sometimes even the most well intentioned Dr.'s make mistakes and even may not know as much as you will learn about CML--we have actually come across this and I'm sure others have also.  We have alot of people here, all comparing and sharing information, you will learn a great deal.  Please keep us posted on your journey.  Take care,
Teresa

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
