CML general treatment Q&As

4 items found in this section.

1. I am on Glivec for CML. I have heard it can stop working. Does this happen?

2. How can the doctors tell if the treatment for my CML is working?

3. I have myelodysplasia. This has caused anaemia. I am having injections of EPO for this but they are not really helping. My doctor has suggested adding GCSF. I have read up about this and it seems to be for white cells not for anaemia. Will it help?
