Chronic myeloid leukaemia

Hello all,

I am Sophie, 28 years old and a mother to 4 children age 9, 6, 5 and 3. 

In November I was diagnosed with CML - chronic myeloid leukeamia. It's strange really because I'd always thought of myself as healthy and being young you just never thing something like this is going to happen to you! 

I am looking to talk to people who are in the same boat or similar to compare and talk about the struggles faced with an incurable type of cancer.

Thank you x

  • Hello Sophie and welcome to the forum. 

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with CML. I'm sure it's been a difficult time adjusting to the impact that this diagnose will have on you and your family. 

    I've had a look through the forum and can see that we've had 2 other members posts recently about CML - [@Steve66]‍ and [@Unluckylu90]‍ . As I've tagged them in to this response, hopefully they will see your post and pop along to say Hello! 

    You may have more luck connecting with others via a specialised support group for CML. You can find some links to other various organisations here. 

    I hope that some of this helps. 

    Best wishes,
