Welcome to Connect, @susanmarie52 Being newly diagnosed with CMML-1. (Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia I’m sure your head is spinning with a zillion questions.

Though the letters are the similar, CMML is not the same disease as CML. They are considered chronic forms of leukemia but with different characteristics.
I know, it can be confusing! The initial replies in this particular discussion are regarding CML.
However, we have several other members in the forum who have experience with CMML either personally or through a loved one. Let me introduce you to a just few of the members off the top of my head. @carolgk @rogelling @ismatjahan007 @lmoser325 @sme225

There are numerous discussions about CMML and I wasn’t sure which one to recommend for you. But here the link to a quick search in Connect for CMML members so you can check out the conversations that are interesting for you: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/

What has your doctor told you about your CMML? You mentioned you’re in stage 1 with your current diagnosis. Will there be any treatments offered at this time or are you in active surveillance…just keeping an eye on things with labs every few months or so?
