CML Awareness Day       -      September 22     -  Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

 

“The date of September 22nd (09/22) was symbolically chosen by one of the patients on the patient Advisory Board of the CML Society of Canada. Rav was diagnosed with CML when he was just 25 years old: "I chose that date because the Philadelphia chromosome thought to be acquired after birth, is formed when chromosomes 9 and 22 exchange some of their genetic material, forming a new one. It's estimated that by the year 2050, 280,000 people in North America will be living with CML. A cure is needed and we have to act fast!"
