Hi @cortney. With all the exciting changes ahead for your son with graduation and ‘infanticipating’ the arrival of his new son next week, I’m sure this unexpected diagnosis of CML has knocked everyone for a loop!

I’m so glad you found Connect because I think you’ll find encouragement and hope with our other members who have CML and are doing well with their treatments to keep the disease under control. Years ago, that wasn’t always the case. But now there are targeted therapies which may give many people a normal life span.

Knowledge is power. So to help you become more comfortable with your son’s diagnosis I’m tossing in a few creditable websites with information for you.

Was your son having symptoms that led to this discovery?
