Hi Susan and welcome to the group. We all have different stories in our journey fighting leukemia. I was dx in 2004 and have been on gleevec, tasigna, and now am on sprycel. Like Skip cml has thrown the works at me but I keep fighting. I find that people don't realize that chemo comes in a pill so don't worry about that just get ready to battle. Feel free to post and let us know how you are doing. Take gleevec with a big meal. Blessing Jeanie
