i was diagnosed with CML in 8/23 at 80 years old when i was at dr for a pre-op for my back surgery. They said my blood was not right sent me to an oncologist and diagnosed with CML. I was given Glevec which caused water retention which was out of control i am now on Sprlcel and am tolerating well
I was so shocked with my diagnosis and am still bewildered as to why it happened since i’ve been pretty healthy all my life
Good luck and be grateful they are giving you sedation for the biopsy mine was done without sedation and it was pretty painful i’ll pray for you

Hello, thanks for the message I appreciate it. I pray you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I believe we all have a lot to be thankful for. I am shocked as well never had any health problem and then this out of the blue. I did get my biopsy done on Dec 1st and it was really scary for me. They were very nice at the hospital and I don't even remember the procedure once they gave me the medicine. I was able to hear them if they called my name though. I am sorry that you had to get that done without sedation. I'm better now, but still just a little clouded about the whole situation. I want to thank you for the prayers cause well all need prayer. Stay blessed and thanks for the message again.
