Where to find help and support
You and your loved ones will be supported throughout the treatment by a group of specialists.
The clinical nurse specialist, or another member of your specialist team, will be able to give you information on local support services that you may find helpful.
There are also national cancer charities that offer support and information about chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).
