Hi  I was diagnosed with cmml in April 2021

I'm still in shock lay awake at night wondering what's going to happen.

I was offered no treatment am on " watch and observe" program .

Have bloods checked periodically.

I'm told it's a slow growing cancer.

Although  only diagnosed two years ago specialist said I've probably had a lot longer 

I'm 71  

Just plodding on lol

Hi strawberry I am on a watch and observe also its not Very reassuring, I was in shock when I got the diagnosis and it wasn't until I got home I thought of a few questions I should have asked I need to speak to someone about this to reasure me and to find out the do's and don'ts like you say I'll just have to plod on

Hi strawberry 99 how are you keeping, just a quick update,  had my blood tests 3 weeks ago and went for the results today, doc said everything all good as my bloods have actually improved,  they were down in the 60s but he said they were now in the 90s , I had a few questions for him after I had looked on the Internet but he put my mind at rest and just said to carry on as normal, get plenty of exercise and stay as healthy as possible,  how's things with you have you a test coming up, and how is your general health , my next test is 6 months, hopefully everything will be good again, well best wishes and take care x
