Chronic myeloid leukemia survivor: Why I joined a clinical trial at MD Anderson
When I was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in 2005, I was flabbergasted. There was no history of cancer in my family. I was only 42. And, I felt perfectly fine.
But routine blood work at my annual physical showed my white blood cell count was significantly elevated. It was more than four times the upper limit of the normal range. There was no question that I had leukemia. All that was left to decide was where to go for my treatment.
