Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
I was diagnosed by a Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in November, 2016. I am 59 years old and fly since 1977. 15 years in the Air Force and since 1992 in civil airline company. I flew DC10 around the world, high altitude and high latitude. I was based 1 year in Iceland.
I just recovered my medical, and fly again on 757 from Paris to Newark. I am under treatment medical and today everything goes well. In France the medical capacity is mainly given by military medical officers. For the doctors I can keep flying because there is no cause with effect between my professional activity and my health.
On the Internet I found an article of " National Institutes of Health " explainig the "Increased frequency of chromosome translocations in airline pilots with long-term flying experiences".
Does some one have informations?
Thank you for help.
