Newly diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a type of blood cancer that involves the white blood cells. It develops slowly over many years. In this booklet, we cover what CML is, who gets it, how it is diagnosed and what treatments you might have.

This booklet is only a guide of what you might experience. Your haematology team will give you a copy of your specific treatment plan.

You can order printed copies of this booklet free to UK addresses.

Digital downloads

We also have other booklets, leaflets and factsheets about CML available to download. Visit our website to download this booklet or any of our other CML resources.

All our information is available free of charge to people affected by leukaemia and associated conditions in the UK. It costs us approximately £3 to provide one booklet. Please consider adding a donation to your order if you can.
