Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Hi, my name is GlacierMoth94954. I'm here because my husband was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myleiod Leukemia or CML, a rare form of bone marrow cancer that never goes away. It’s normally diagnosed in the elderly, so it was quite a shocker that he, who had just turned 40 a few months earlier was being told he had to live with this the rest of his life. He is also a Navy vet. His whole demeanor and personality changed, and I can’t say I blame him. But it brought up a lot of old stuff. Stuff he dreams, screams and cries about in his sleep, but doesn’t talk to anyone about. The anxiety came on, the depression started settling in, the fits of anger too, it’s just been so hard for him. I want to help him, talk to him, something because I’m afraid he’ll start having dangerous thoughts.

Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well... My name is Despina and I am new in this community. I don't know how to start exactly, and what to say, so here is my thought: I got recently diagnosed with ADHD and CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia). While the latter can be manageable, despite being a type of blood cancer, ADHD worries me more. I suspected of having ADHD the last couple years and now I am 50.I've always had that constant noise in my head (including other features), plus anxiety and as the title of the group says, this is what I want to do: conquer my mind at last. So, I will be happy to hear any tips, your thoughts, to talk , to learn etc. Thank you for your time, nice to meet you all! :)

I am tired of being told that I have a good cancer compared to other types.
I am tired of being told that I am strong.
I am tired of being told to accept my healing.
I’m tired.
I’m tired of it all.
No, it’s not a good cancer. It’s still CANCER.
Yes, I am strong, but no amount of resilience will cure a life long blood cancer.
And,
What healing? I’m still dealing with it and will deal with this the rest of my life.
I can’t even get the medication going with out breaking into a rash.
I don’t have energy.
I don’t have motivation.
I just dont.
But,
I’m trying.
I’m trying to get back into the swing of things.
I’m trying to move past this diagnosis.
I’m trying, but it is exhausting.
