Hi @raremiracle2 Welcome to Mayo Connect! This is a wonderfully supportive forum. It helps when you find others who are going along the same medical journey so you’re not feeling quite so alone.
There are a number of discussions with members who have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia who are very encouraging with their experiences with CML.

I did find a free educational course that’s offered through Mayo Clinic for CML patients. It’s very informational and I encourage you to follow along.

– Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patient Education Series https://mccmscontent.mayo.edu/LSC/ChronicMyeloidLeukemiaPatientEducation/content/index.html#/

Here are a several of the conversations you might like to join. Don’t hesitate to pop into any discussion and tag a member by tying in their @name. That way they’ll get a notification.

@ginlori0509 who was recently diagnosed with CML started this discussion. There are some good links in some of the replies.

I think this will be a really encouraging discussion with
@suzie71, who had been a CML survivor for over 20 years! You’ll also meet @babyjakejake @anglis @ericloomis and others who are on the same CML journey with you.

Hospitalized same number 2022; 3x-4x higher (Doctors blame septic but same numbers 2022; needed to find answers) After bone marrow biopsy: Myelofribrosis / Myelofibrosis is considered to be a chronic leukemia.
