I'm considering requesting a piece of office equipment through a reasonable accommodation request. Have any of you gone through this process since being diagnosed with CML?

I was able to get a larger monitor using it and was able to get darker tint on my car because of it. Tasigna has made my vision poor and very sensitive to the sun.

On Tasigna I felt like my vision was going dim.

Absent of what exactly you're going to request, type of employer and size of employer, typically, a piece of office equipment is reasonable under the ADA and usually doesn't cause an undue hardship for an employer. It's always worth asking.
Dx 2/10/12.
Sprycel 100. mg.
10/2015, Pleural effusions, both sides, about a 3-4 week break in Rx, reduced to 70 mg.
PEs, weren't completely gone, started building back up, about a 6-8 week break in Rx.
01/2016, Reduced to sprycel 50 mg.
10/2016, developed severe skin rash, mainly upper arms and upper legs, smaller rashes on lower arms, lower legs, upper back/neck. Rx break of about 6 weeks.
