CML is not just a diagnosis-it's a challenge that, with modern medicine, can often be managed successfully. Over the past two decades, groundbreaking advancements in treatment have transformed CML from a once-deadly disease into a chronic condition for most patients.

This book was created to help you understand CML in a way that feels approachable, relatable, and empowering. While medical jargon can often seem intimidating, this guide breaks down complex information into simple, practical language.
