Hi everyone,
I have recently been diagnosed with Chronic myeloid leukaemia and am about to start Imatinib imminently. While I feel like I am doing well at keeping my positivity for this fight ahead, and I am focussing on what I can influence (health/ diet/ exercise/ mindfulness) the one thing that I can’t seem to get my head around is what my longer term future life looks like.
It seems so banal to ask this question but my husband and I had been so focussed on retiring in a couple of years and following our passion for travel and adventure and now I feel like that these future plans are at risk.
So my question is for those of you who have been living with Chronic myeloid leukaemia for a while, are you still able to travel freely? Does travel insurance just become prohibitive cost wise? Are there any limitations to how you can travel? I am of course assuming that I will be in a stable position medically by that point. I would not travel if it wasn’t under control.
Thanks in advance
