Hopefully others that have CML will respond to your question vs the robot generated answer Cynthia. I have CLL..10 plus yrs..no treatments to date..there have been 2 times iver the years that I was low on & needed B12. Best to be tested via blood draw to confirm that you are low/deficient in it first. Taking even supplements can work against our bodies if we are not deficient in them. Your regular doctor or oncologist can order you the B12 test.
