Hello, I’m Jen Zinkovich.  When I was diagnosed with CML, I had a great desire to find others walking this journey that were in or near Indianapolis. Unfortunately, it was not easy to connect as I found no outlets to do so. Very soon after my diagnosis, I visited the National CML Society’s (NCMLS) website and found it very useful and informative. As a result, I wanted to become more involved in the work of the society. Today, I am the NCMLS Indiana State Representative and facilitator of the Indianapolis CML Connection group.

I welcome you to join us for our CML Connection group meetings and get to know others on this journey. I’d love to meet you!
