Anyone know how they got CML?

[Guest guest]

Since being diagnosed 7/06, I can't help but to scan my past to figure

out where I lived, what I ate, chemicals I've used, etc. to try and

figure out how I acquired CML. We all know about the risk factors with

radiation, benzene, etc.

Has anybody been able to trace a solid potential cause for their CML?

Also, kind of a dumb question, but does the chromosome translocation

that results in CML occur at the moment of exposure?

Thanks.
