I, too, have had CML for 20-plus years. They have made such great strides since I was diagnosed. I have been on Gleevec or Imanitib during most of that time and it has worked wonders. I do suffer from some fatigue but that's a small price to pay for what this wonderful drug does. Anyone diagnosed with CML, keep your head up. There is life with CML. God bless all of you.

Hi Martin, Welcome to Connect! And thank you for sharing such a positive story about your CML and the treatments you’ve been taking. Twenty years is a long time since your diagnosis and you’re right, so much has changed since then with available medications to help keep it under control. Your story and attitude are very inspirational.

So happy to have you here and I hope you’re a regular contributor to the discussion. Were you looking for anything in particular that led you to Connect?
