Newly diagnosed with leukemia (CML)

I was diagnosed nearly a month ago and have two inpatient stays as a result. Currently an outpatient and have a future appointment.

It’s all a bit overwhelming at the moment.

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community RollingAlong although I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with leukaemia last month.

    I hope it helps to know that it's completely understandable, and natural, to be feeling this way at the moment and I hope you can take some strength and comfort from knowing that so many of our members have felt like this as well, so you are not alone RollingAlong, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to offer you their support and advice.

    I hope this information we have about how cancer can make you feel and your diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) will be useful as well but if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and make this easier to cope with.

    We're here for you RollingAlong and wishing you all the best with your future appointment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
