Hi and welcome to this corner of the Community although always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various blood cancer groups.
You may want to join and post in our dedicated Chronic myeloid leukaemia group as there are distinct differences between CML and Myeloma.
Always around to help more or just to chat
