Hi, I have just been diagnosed with CML following blood tests for a completely different issue. I am only 58, fit and healthy and have always looked after myself so completely in shock. As we had a holiday booked I am due to start Imatinib in ten days time. I am curious to know how this will affect me. Can I expect to be nauseous and tired? I would like to continue my sports so do not want to feel to ill to do these things. If there are symptoms, how long do they last? Thank you in advance.
