Hello,
i was guranteed by my onc that cml is not hereditary, i know that there is a lot about the disease and its origins that we are not sure of, but for him to make that bold of a statement, i feel like i should listen. i am the first on both sides of my family to have cml, there a have been 1 or 2 very distant relatives who have had other forms of cancer. Heredity has wieghed heavily on my heart as far as having children goes. I have an 8 month old and am expecteing twins in june. Should i be worried? I mean i am the only one in my family, should i be petrified that one of my 3 children is going to have to go through this as well>? Who can answer that for me? What of the immunization shot does anyone know about this and it's credintials? i would like to know if that is a route i should take for my children..i would appreciat anyfeedback on this.. thanks roger dx. may 2004, 27yrs. --- nissi6255 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], "Cheryl-Anne Simoneau" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hello All, > > > > Just thought I would chime in on this.
