My Husband Recently Diagnosed w/CML

[Guest guest]

Hello,

My name is Tonya and my husband was diagnosed with CML on June 18, 2009.

We went to the emergency room thinking he was suffering from fluid in his lungs

due to chronic asthma and was told he had leukemia. The emergency room doctor

explained his white cell count was 700,000 and he would be admitted to the

hospital immediately.

We were taken to the floor and the head oncologist explained to us my husband

would be taken to MD Cancer Center in Houston, TX. So, we both were

looking a little confused, as we had only been living in Lake , LA for

one year to the date.

The good news is will be discharged on tomorrow. I'm a little confused,

as we are still trying to work out the plan for treatment (whether it's here in

Texas or Lake , LA).

I look forward to my membership of the group, as I've been reading through the

threads and feel a lot better.
