A member asked:
I'm having symptoms of blood cancer - how to tell if it could be chronic myeloid leukemia (cml)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CBC: Get a blood count. Can be reviewed under the microscope. Then if felt to be abnormal, then the hematologist will obtain what is called BCR-ABL by FISH to confirm. Hope this helps.
