Hi Colleen< br>Thank you for your response.
Please note that my illness is CMML.
The leukemias that you list - CLL & CML are different illnesses. Do you have info that refers to CMML?

My apologies @jzier. Here's info specific to chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) from Cancer Research UK http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/cancer-questions/chronic-myelomonocytic-leukaemia-cmml This article from the National Cancer Institute for health professionals http://www.cancer.gov/types/myeloproliferative/hp/mds-mpd-treatment-pdq

Currently there is a phase I/II clinical trial open for enrollment at Mayo Clinic for CMML. See details including eligibility criteria here: http://www.mayo.edu/research/clinical-trials/cls-20149895

Thank you for your speedy response. Can you also tell me if there are any specialists dealing with this illness at Mayo?<br><br>

Hi Colleen -- My diagnosis is CMML - chronic myeloid monocytic leukemia. It is different from CML and CML.
It is a rare diagnosis so it is difficult to get info on possible treatments, etc. My oncologist is waiting for a trial
Study called ABT 199. But we have been waiting for months. Meanwhile I am not on any treatment and being
supported with blood tranfusions. I am concerned that the illness is probably progressing. My white counts have
been going up. My Dr says don't worry about. But, of course, I am. Any ideas?

Can you recommend a doctor at Mayo who specializes in CMML?
Thanks
Jzier
