    2. Hi Arthur. Wanted to say hello to a fellow CMLer. Are you on a TKI? Where is U of M? If you are able to, I would consult with a CML specialist (hematologist/oncologist) and ask him/her all the questions you need answers to. Knowledge is power. IF I can help you with anything, please let me know. I'm nearing 9 years with CML. Take care, Susan (Blood-Cancer.com Team Member)

    1. you're right in asking your hematologists about what is right for you. We are unable to answer medical questions here, but I found this article that may be helpful regarding the drug you mention. https://blood-cancer.com/news/fda-approves-inqovi

    2. I can relate, as I accumulated a whole bin worth of this and that relating to multiple myeloma. It indeed can be overwhelming. Best!

    1. thanks for your response. It looks like there are others in this thread with the sane diagnosis. If you're comfortable sharing more, it's usually helpful to talk to someone who shares your diagnosis. Are you currently in treatment now?
