Daniel,

Sometimes the earliest sign of CML is a very high platelet count, even
before the WBC counts start to rise. But if you do not have a high
platelet count, and since your WBC counts are normal, it is unlikely
that you have early stage CML. The tiredness and other symptoms in CML
come after the WB
Thanks, Sandy!
Several things I forgot to put in my original message:
I can't and don't want to eat, just like your husband. Nothing at all

I have had three episode
