If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with CML, it's natural to feel overwhelmed. Questions, uncertainties, and even fears may arise as you navigate this new journey.

CML is not just a diagnosis-it's a challenge that, with modern medicine, can often be managed successfully. Over the past two decades, groundbreaking advancements in treatment have transformed CML from a once-deadly disease into a chronic condition for most patients.

This book was created to help you understand CML in a way that feels approachable, relatable, and empowering. While medical jargon can often seem intimidating, this guide breaks down complex information into simple, practical language. It is not just about explaining the science behind CML-it's about helping you make informed decisions about your care, understand your treatment options, and take steps to live well.
Here's what you can expect from this guide:
- Clear explanations of what CML is and how it affects your body.
- Step-by-step guidance on navigating treatment, monitoring response, and managing side effects.
- Practical advice for making lifestyle changes that support your health and well-being.
- Myth-busting insights to address common misconceptions about CML.
