As a 78 year old woman, I would not want this type of information kept from me as if I had to be overly protected. In fact, doing so could cause resentment. I was the one who informed my family of my CLL.

I know we are all different in how we process bad news. For me, I would want to learn about having CML directly from the doctor, maybe with a family member present. Learning indirectly would destroy any trust I had in the doctor and my family. What else is being kept from me?
