Hi Ruth, thanks for the reply. I did have a bone marrow bx and aspiration that confirmed the dx. My Dr is at a center of excellence in NYC, and specializes in the older population. It has been almost 3 months of monitoring, with no tx recommended now. At some point she said she would recommend decitabine, which is supposed to be more effective for CMML-intermediate risk. Although I am a physician, a retired psychiatrist like Brigitta, this is all new and quite hard to get a handle on. I still feel fine and continue an active daily life swimming, gym and balance classes.I also work with a trainer who has a fall prevention program which is excellent. I am very concerned about taking this treatment and at the moment am not convinced the risk is worth it. I have been blesssed until now with good health and do not want to have my life end in an ICU. So glad for the Forum, all the best. McGill54(my med school class!!)
