I was diagnosed 11 years ago and have found it very helpful to visit and learn from CML Support. It has been very helpful and informative and I recommend it to any newly-diagnosed patients.

I was diagnosed in 1999, before the advent of TKI therapy but was fortunate enough to enter the Phase II trial of Imatinib. I set up CML Support in 2000 and the experience of helping other people has certainly helped me and my family cope with what is a lifelong diagnosis.
In the early days, the CML Support community helped explain my illness, armed me with knowledge so I could better talk to my doctor and provided a compassionate place to share my problems. Outside of family, it continues to provide me my single biggest support through my CML journey.
