Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hello, my name is and am new here. I was just diagnosed with CML last week. I went into the ER with rapid and irregular heart rate due to my white count (540) and lack of red. I must say I was shocked to hear CML. Never heard of it, but now very aware of it. In a week we have my WBC to 67 and falling. Started Gleevec two days ago, getting ready for night 3. Things seem to be going in the right direction. Waiting for all the biopsy reports to come in. I never saw this coming. Went to the ER for a heart attack and got the shock of my life. I am 41, married with a 13 year old. Been scary for them, but I put on the brave smiley face. Keeps me happy and myself and I hope is keeping them from over concern. My wife said yesterday that I was acting like I had a common cold! I guess my way of handling this.
