Update on my CML

Diagnosed in December 24 and have been on imatinib with weekly blood tests. Today I was told my bone marrow is now working well and the BCR has gone from 66% to 3% which is apparently very good. No more appointments or blood tests for 7 weeks. I can now go to the dentist and go abroad on holiday if I want to. Can’t believe how quickly this drug has worked for me. I feel very lucky.

Hi @pammy thanks for the update and good news for you.
I always take responsibility for reminding my dentist about my blood cancer and any other relevant health conditions..
If I were to go on holiday abroad I would make sure that my travel insurance covered me for my blood cancer and any other relevant health conditions.
Enjoy your holiday if you decide to go.
Please do keep updating us and really look after yourself

Wow - you couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! So, the most important question is where are you going on holiday? And yes, as @Erica said, remember the travel insurance :blush:
