Diagnosis is a scary time, before your journey starts and these amazing drugs take effect. There is outdated, inaccurate information on the web. CML support was the place where I found a community of fellow patients, good information and advice, together with accurate helpful guidance and knowledge.
In the early days, the CML Support community helped explain my illness, armed me with knowledge so I could better talk to my doctor and provided a compassionate place to share my problems. Outside of family, it continues to provide me my single biggest support through my CML journey.
After I was diagnosed, I scoured the internet for answers to all my questions. By far the richest source of information and help was CML Support. The advice from members has proved invaluable ever since. I really don't know what I would have done without them.
