I've recently been prescribed Myleran 2mg Tablets (Busulfan) for my chronic myeloid leukemia and I'm absolutely terrified. The side effects list is horrifying. Has anyone had experience with this medication? I'm particularly worried about the signs of infection and bleeding. Is it common to experience these? What did your doctor say? Any advice on managing these side effects or tips for coping? I'm really struggling here and could use some support.

I’m about to start my busulfan 6mg/ml injection treatment before my stem cell transplant and I’m feeling a bit anxious. Has anyone gone through this and can share their experience? What should I expect in terms of side effects and how long do they usually last? Any tips on managing the more serious ones like infections or bleeding? Also, any advice on what to do if I start experiencing some of the more urgent side effects listed?
