Hi
I I have recently been diagnosed with CML Leukaemia and struggling to come to terms with it.
I am on Imatinib 400mg and it’s making me sick straight after taking it. Any suggestions on how others are taking it? I take it straight after eating at almost the same time daily.
Any suggestions on travel insurance providers with my condition?
Is it possible to get life insurance when diagnosed? I am young and didn’t think I would need it, but this has happened now.
Hi J D and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
I am Mike and I help out around our various blood cancer groups. I have lived with and been treated for over 25 years for 2 rare types of Non Hodgkins Lymphomas so know the challenges of this journey well.
Navigating a blood cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked or are walking the ‘exact same' journey can help a lot.
This New to Community area is like our reception desk where we look to try and direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms)……. and I do see that you have shrewdly joined our dedicated….
……. support group.
This group will be a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask your questions and get support.
To connect in with the group please click on the link above then once the group page opens you can then introduce yourself to the group by putting up your very own post by clicking [+ Create new post] or [+] in the top right of the group page.
You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
