I'm very disappointed, however, that your resource list does not include the National CML Society which is one of the few resources focused on providing the information and support needed to manage this condition for the long term. Please add this CML-specific nonprofit organization to your list of resources to make it more helpful to patients. Thank you! I attended your last two workshops on CML basics and enjoyed them.

At the time, I was single and living w/ my mother as her primary care giver, she had dementia and was dying from Congestive Heart Failure. I was broke and I turned to CancerCare for much needed help. They gave me transportation money to get to and from chemo and I qualified for financial help w/ expenses for chemo, radiation, pain and nausea medication. The financial aid really helped, but what really helped me survive a cancer diagnosis and treatment was seeing a social worker who specialized in talking to women w/ BC once a week. The therapy was as important as the chemo. "Thank you, CancerCare." Barbara, NYC I was diagnosed w/ Breast Cancer when I was 38.
