What Type of Blood Cancer Are You Diagnosed With

New here? Been with us since the beginning?

Introduce yourself below and share a little about your experience as someone living with blood cancer.

  1. Hi,my name is Arthur, I was diagnosed with cml last year,I have been on chemo 10 months and I have to start a new douse of chemo. Would like to know more about it. Went to u of m to see a cancer doctor.

    1. 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)

    2. why chemo & not TKIs

  2. CMML

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

    2. I have CLLM as well. On Inqovi for 1 1/2 yrs now. Take 4 of the five in the blister pack. Had multiple compression fractures so looking into bone repair medications. My main discomfort comes from my inflamed spleen causing great rib discomfort. I can't find any info on how to manage that except pain pills!!! HELP!

  3. multiple myeloma

    1. Have you started active treatment yet? How are doing today?

  4. CML

    1. - I have CML, too, and am nine years in. I have been on Sprycel the entire time and just had my dosage lowered to 40 mgs.

    2. Hey Jewels
      Nice to meet someone on here with the same strangely .
      I’ve had CML going on two years in September. It’s been a roller coaster to say the least.
      How has your journey been ? You have been on sprycel the whole nine years? Have you ever reach “remission”?
      What was it like in the beginning??
