Sept. 22 is International CML Awareness Day.
In 2008, the CML Society of Canada came up with a great idea. What if there were a
special day to raise awareness about all the wonderful discoveries that took place
that drastically changed the course of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, this once
always nearly fatal disease.
CML is a slowly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized
by an overproduction of white blood cells which do not mature, ultimately
cannot carry out their intended function and crowd out the healthy cells.
The mission of the CML Society is to help reduce suffering and improve care and
the quality of life of CML patients.
