    Hi Barb,My husband , George has CMML, was dx Ocr/2003.He lost 40 pound the first 6 month, and was very sick all the time. In July he started to take vitamins and a supplemental medicin to boost the immunsystem . He stop loosing wait and feels a lot better most of the time. When his hmg goes low, of cause he feels very tired, and still has a lot of discomfort, but none as bad as before. None of his treatment worked so far, but the side effects of the treatments didn,t cause him as much discomfort as before.I belive the proper nutritions will help to fight the disease.Best wishes to your husband with his treatment and happy New Year. Kate

    Hi Edith,I am sorry that I have to welcome you to this board. You will find a lot of help here. We did too. My husband , George has CMML.CMML-2 means secondary CMML? I never saw it like this. George is 70 years old, was dx Oct/2003. So far he tried the arsenic treatment, didn’t work, than he started Vidaza treatment in Aug/2004. After the first and second round his counts were getting a lot better, but with the last two treatment everything went downhill. We are suspecting the reason, it is very complicated. He has an appointment with Dr List in Tampa at the Moffitt cancer center January 12.We were informed, that he is the top MDS specialist .We are hoping so much that he can give George the right direction for treatment.There is a lot of new medicin coming out, and a lot of new treatment options. There are people on this board, who know a lot more than I , and you will have a lot of usefull information. Anymore question, I will be happy to answer. My English is not to good, I hope I didn’t make to many mistake.Kate
