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 Ampisparticus.

Lungs now sorted

How are you keeping ?

Hope all good.

Is it November you go for bloods ?  

My bloods December x x

Hi strawbs glad to hear your all OK I'm well, or was well till I had my flue injection this week, I woke up the next day throbbing headache, my tinnitus was deafening me and my head full, it was so bad I couldn't hear anything even with my hearing aid in, it's a bit better today but hearing still not great, anyway have you had your holiday yet, my blood test results are scheduled for 18November, I'll let you know how I get on ,good luck with your blood tests take care xx
