Anyone who has just been diagnosed with CML, I have one suggestion. Don’t start surfing for information right before you go to bed. It doesn’t help.

I’m having trouble sleeping lately (I wake up too much) and I’m sure it’s due to agitation and not knowing what’s next. My best sleep I’ve had since this started was the night after the hematologist confirmed my diagnosis.

Supportive friends (and family) are the best. What really put me at ease was the support of friends who have already survived cancer. It’s good to know that people get through this!

Thanks everyone.
