Healthy Baby born to Mum: Diagnosed with CML during pregnancy

Good Afternoon Guys

The Carer e-newsletter from Aust. Leukaemia Foundation highlights CML this month with the front page info and two other pages designated to CML.

For those who read published articles from Dr Tim Hughes - a photo of him is also published with an article. Stats etc.

Of interest in Australia only 249 people each year being diagnosed.

CML is still a rare disease accounting for around 0.3% of all cancers diagnosed, at a rate of 1.3 per 100,000 of the population.

For those who are thinking of having children - it is a huge issue and the decision is not an easy one.

The article is one to read for a great outcome. The MUM went thru considerable difficulty to have this little baby who now is one chubby bubby and nearing 6 months of age.
Shelley is from my home State in Western Australia.
Great article. Gorgeous young Mum with an absolutely gorgeous baby.
