Is it possible to have CML without taking any treatment?

This is such an important question that many people with CML wonder about. Treatment decisions are deeply personal and should always be made with a healthcare team who knows your specific situation, stage, and overall health. Some people might explore watchful waiting in very early stages, while others need immediate treatment - it really depends on individual circumstances. Consider discussing all available options with your oncologist, including the benefits and risks of different approaches. Has anyone else in the community navigated similar treatment decision-making with their care team?
