I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You has chronic myeloid leukemia. It is chronic leukemia so prognosis is good. However you should not stop thd treatment without your doctor's advice. You should complete the course of yoir chemotherapy.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. You should go for regular blood count to monitor your chronic myeloid leukemia.
