Re: Happy Holidays ques about chloromas?

[Guest guest]

Hi MJ,

Chloromas are basicaly solid tumours made up of CML cells. They are

pretty rare. In all the years I've been on the lists, I think I've

only heard of two people having them and both were not in any type of

remission. They are a sign of advancing disease. There aren't

any " symptoms " per se, other than a lump and maybe some pain. I

believe treatment for chloromas is radiation.

Why don't they biopsy your masses to see what they're made of?

Take care,

Tracey
