Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Could you please tell me how to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after stopping medication for 7 years?Doctor's answer:
Chronic myeloid leukemia requires long-term medication treatment. If, due to financial difficulties, the medication has been discontinued for 7 years, the tendency of the condition to improve is normal. It is important to actively treat the condition. Otherwise, further improvement in the condition could be life-threatening. It is necessary to promptly visit a formal hospital's hematology department for follow-up and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. The specialist doctor should then adopt appropriate medication, symptomatic treatment, or bone marrow transplantation methods based on the actual condition to avoid missing the opportunity for treatment.
