This is so encouraging for me. I have been diagnosed with CMML however they are going to treat me as if I have AML. I have started hydroxy 1000mg in the morning but will have to go up to 2000. I have been on it for a week now. I am going to
Ask if I can take the extra dose at night. My hematologist is also talking about a chemo injection 5 days a week. It was a board of doctors in a big hospital who met and have decided in this treatment. I am 76 yrs old. I originally diagnosed 8 yrs ago with low risk MDS. I read on google that the life span for someone with CMML is 20-30 months. Scary.
I meet with my oncologist Tuesday to discuss it all. I did accelerated chemo 17 yrs ago and radiation for breast cancer.
Apparently this blood cancer has nothing to do with the breast cancer.
