Thomas, so sorry to hear your young daughter has been diagnosed with CML. Cancer/Leukemia is scary words to hear. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your daughter and family. Gleevec is a miracle drug....and if anyone is destined to get cancer or leukemia....she has the good kind. You made a good decision by joining this group....if there are things you may not fully understand from her doctor, there is someone here who is going through what you are, and they can answer your questions or direct you to someone who can. Try to be comfort to your daughter, and if you are terrified, try not to display your fears in front of her and keep a positive attitude for her and yourself. Most children deal with things much better than we adults do. If you need someone to talk to, the group is here and you are welcome to email me privately if you just need someone to talk to. Adding your daughter and family to my prayer list. I hope all goes well with her treatment, it may be rough in the beginning with just dealing with it, or side effects from the Gleevec, but it's a great possibility she will do well.
