Yes, it’s leukemia,
it’s cancer.
But if treated effectively with recommended
treatments, patients with chronic myeloid
leukemia (CML) today can have a life
expectancy similar to that of the general
population.
While medicine has provided us with the
weapon we need to live and enjoy
a good quality of life, it is still
an ongoing fight to help each patient
access treatment.
Join the movement for access to treatment
for this rare cancer today and together with
all of us and help raise awareness on

CML is a rare cancer that is characterized by
an unregulated growth of white blood cells in
the bone marrow and the accumulation of
these cells in the blood. Even though there
has been a medical revolution in treating CML
over the past decade, not every patient has
access to the best available treatment and
care. Those who have access struggle to live
with CML as a chronic, life-long disease.
Without treatment life expectancy is three
years.
Initiated by the patient community in 2008, September 22 (9/22) has marked
World CML Day because of its symbolic significance – the disease is caused
by the change of chromosomes 9 and 22. On this day, patients across the
globe come together to raise awareness about their needs to the general
public, politicians, and medical professionals across the world.
The CML Advocates Network is a global non-profit community run by
patients in roughly 80 countries. Launched in 2007 by four founding
organizations, it now consists of more than 100 patient groups, offering
support by sharing best practices, information, and advice for CML
patient advocates. Find out more at http://cmladvocates.net
