CMML-F (fibrosis)

Post by MollyP » 05 Jan 2019 23:14

So our watch and wait days are over. Hubby's CMML has gone off on a tangent to CMML-F. This was what the raised LDH levels we couldn't get to the bottom of this past year or so.
We are fortunate that there is something that can be done and hopefully that will help stall things.

Hi Molly

Goodness. Never heard of CMML-F! Are you saying that there is treatment for it? And what that might be? This flippin' disease keeps everybody guessing to know which way it's going to go.

I hope that whatever the treatment, it is positive and without any horrid side effects.

I've been so involved with 3 granddaughters and the allotment that I've rather neglected this Forum!

Hope you've been enjoying life despite the question marks over your husband's CMML issues?

Take care

Chris
