Hello @craighatescancer. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion of the same title. A few members like @dell060969 talked about CML. There are also quite a few posts from 2012 in this thread, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ive-had-chronic-myeloid-leukemia-for-3-yrs-anyone-else. Conversations from that long ago offer good archived exchanges but may not have active members in it. I'd like to invite back @missvee42 and @lindav to rejoin the conversation on CML.

@craighatescancer, how are you doing with your recent diagnosis, both physically and mentally? Will you be starting treatment soon, or have you already?

I’ve had my extreme anxiety day prior to diagnosis and my depressed day following the news. This comes after colon cancer (2013) and prostate cancer (2015) so somewhat in disbelief that I’m dealing with a third. Started taking Imatinib (pill/tablet) on Wednesday and will have bloodwork done weekly for 4 weeks and then talk with the Doctor to see how things are looking.
