Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is also an effective treatment approach for CMML. Although chemotherapy cannot completely cure CMML, it can help kill cancer cells and slow down their growth.
Supportive care
This treatment method helps to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications from CMML. Examples of these supportive cares include the use of antibiotics, blood or platelet transfusion, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. [5]
For your doctor to decide the right method of treatment for you, he will consider certain factors such as your age, overall health, the type of CMML you have, severity of your symptoms, and your personal preference.
Conclusion
CMML is a chronic condition. You should immediately reach out to your doctor if you notice any of its symptoms. Your doctor will run a diagnosis and determine what treatment to give you.
