I'm just saying hello

Maybe I'm alone being only 33?

But wanted to say it will be 6 years in March for me on treatment and I'm still in remission.

Hope this gives hope to the newly diagnosed

Hello, great to hear you are in remission. My husband has CMML, he is 66 now. Five years ago I had cancer and back then they were talking about being able to take tablets for chemo, and that's just what happened last year my husband spent four months on chemo tablets, we even went to the other side of the world whilst he was taking them. It never ceases to amaze me how medicine and science progress.
Here's wishing you many more years in remission.
Best wishes
Molly
