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.
I was diagnosed with CML in 2009. Fortunately I've done really well and am able to lead a full and normal life. I'm grateful for all the help and encouragement I have received over the last six years, in particular from fellow patients on CMLSg.
