Hey Newbies and Group: First I want to say that my heart goes out to Noah's family. . . I lost 2 infants during my first marriage. . .but God blessed me and now I have 2 adult children. My quote: I AIN'T FINISHED YET ! ! ! Newbies: WELCOME to the group that no one wants to be a member of. . . but you are in the right place at the right time. . . I didn't find the Group until after I became 'negative'. As 'cheerleader' for the Group, I have 15 fatal/terminal/chronic diseases. . . all of which I call CHRONIC ILLNESSES. I was diagnosed with our bug in 11/03 and given 2-5 months to live by the cancer center in my area. "Man points. . . GOD Appoints"! ! ! I had 800,000+ per 1,000,000.

I have a PCP, Oncologist, and 5 Specialists, but you must. . . "arm yourself with information to fight the battle of your life, for your life". Above all else, if something doesn't seem right, it isn't and run don't walk to your PCP, Oncologist or ER. I have CAD and 2 stents because I ignored chest pains as one of my many 'side effects'.

[CML] Promising news on Conception/Pregnancy in patients with CML while on IM
Hello All, Iwas reading through the posts and noticed that there are new younger patients here. Some of you might be interested in this abstract that will be presented at ASH (American Society of Hematology) this year. I will be going to ASH so, I will be happy to report back. Happy reading! Cheryl-Anne [1104] Conception and Pregnancy in Patients (pts) with ChronicMyeloid Leukemia (CML) Receiving Therapy with Imatinib Mesylate (IM).Session Type: Poster Session 262-IPat Ault, Hagop Kantarjian, Susan O'Brien, Charles Koller, StefanFaderl, Emil J. Freireich, Mary Beth Rios, Jorge Cortes Leukemia,University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USAAlthough pts with CML receiving IM therapy are required to practicecontraception while on therapy, there are isolated case reports ofconception and pregnancy while on therapy. Here we present ourexperience with 18 pts who conceived while on IM therapy: 10 femalesand 8 males. All 10 females received IM for chronic phase (CP) CML.At the time of conception 1 had a complete cytogenetic (CG) response(CG CR), 3 a partial CG response (CG PR), 2 a minor CG response (CGMR), 2 complete hematologic response (CHR), and 2 no response. Allpts stopped therapy immediately when pregnancy was recognized. Ptswere managed with hydroxyurea (n=3), leukapheresis (n=1), interferon(n=1) or observation. Two pts had a spontaneous and 1 an electiveabortion; 7 pregnancies continued uneventfully until delivery (medianduration of pregnancy 36 weeks). Eight babies have been born (1 pairof twins): one had hypospadias, 7 were normal. The median age of thechildren is now 14 months (mo) and all are developing normally. Atthe time of delivery/abortion, 5 pts were 100% Ph-positive, 3 hadstill a CG MR and 1 a CG PR [i.e. 5 of 7 evaluable had increased Phoff therapy (1 not tested yet, 2 results pending) (median off therapy9 months, range 4 to 22 months).] Pts re-started therapy afterdelivery and again after a median of 18 months after delivery (range5 to 48 months), 3 have a CG CR, 2 CG PR, 1 CG MR, 2 CHR and 1unknown. Among 8 males (6 CP, 2 AP) who impregnated their partnerswhile on IM, 9 pregnancies resulted in the birth of 8 healthy babiesand 1 spontaneous abortion. One baby had a mild rotation of the smallintestine that resolved surgically. There were no complications ofthe other 7 babies. With a median age of 37 mo (range, 5 to 50),there are no known growth or development problems for any of thebabies. This small experience suggests that conception whilereceiving IM is most frequently associated with a normal pregnancyand healthy babies, provided IM is immediately discontinued. Still,the recommendation to practice effective contraception while on IMshould be enforced.Abstract #1104 appears in Blood, Volume 106, issue 11, November 16,2005 New!

Re: [CML] Hair, Skin and Nails
Hi I think everyone is different on the hair issue. After being dx my dau took me to a spa for mother's day. I was brushing and drying my hair after a treatment and gobs of hair came out. I looked around to see if anyone was looking; it's funny now but so embarrassing then. My hair fell out for a few weeks and then started to grow back. It's good now. hope this helps.

Re: [CML] Promising news on Conception/Pregnancy in patients with CML while on IM
Thanks Cheryl-Anne. I have, for now, decided that Wyatt will be our last and only child. If God sees that we need another baby then he will provide the science to allow that to happen. Right now we're using condoms for contraception as the pill is not suggested by my PCP or ONC. I've looked into an IUD but haven't decided yet whether to go with it. We'll see what time brings. Anyway, thank you for the information. :} AliciaView our family's photos at webshots Our pet's pages:Simba: www.catster.com/?219163Nala: www.dogster.com/?215653Kovu:www.dogster.com/?225974 New!

Re: [CML] mouth sores
Becky, I am a guest on this list and normally don't check it, but I did today. After reading your post, I went to see the PDR blurb on Gleevec to see if there might be any chance an idea I have might have any validity. A few months ago as an adjunct to my research in autism, I started an internet list for those who have trouble with absorbing too much oxalate from food, leading to oxalates collecting in odd tissues around the body. Oxalates seem to be causing a lot of GI problems in children with autism, and the low oxalate diet is helping some neurological issues in them, which is why I started that list. Nevertheless, it is just a general list for those trying to reduce dietary oxalates. Most doctors are only aware of oxalates being an issue in people who develop kidney stones, but many people in many fields have found that oxalates associate with a lot of conditions, and if they are behind a problem then lowering their quantity in the diet can have a big impact. Oxalates bind calcium, so where lesions show up with calcium oxalate, sometimes the tissue looks white which is why your description caught my eye. On the chance that something about Gleevec might give you a leaky gut, you might absorb more oxalates from food than usual, and that might mean your tissues would get more exposure to oxalate, which likes to bind calcium. Of course, I have no idea if this could be related, but a lot of the other side-effects of Gleevec do seem to associate with oxalate issues sometimes, like diarrhea, headaches, nausea, rashes, etc. Lots of things produce these symptoms, so I'm not sure I'm on track but how would we tell if I were? Usually, most people do not absorb but 2 or 3% of oxalates from food, but changes in the gut can make you absorb a whole lot more.. If there is any validity to the idea that oxalates are related to these mouth sores, then maybe these symptoms would come and go in relationship to whether you were or were not eating high oxalate foods. For a list of high oxalate foods, see this list: http://www.branwen.com/rowan/oxalate.htm There are many other similar listings on the internet. Again, if this has any validity, you will probably figure it out by just watching if the sores come and go in relationship to the oxalate content of what you eat. I hope it could be this simple! I wouldn't have said a word except that it sounds like the doctors have no theories at all, and maybe having this one to test is a baby step ahead. Susan Owens ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) At 03:25 PM 11/24/2005 +, you wrote: Michael, I also get mouth sores in response to gleevec, although mine is somewhat different than yours. Mine primarily affects the edges of my tongue and the insides of my cheeks. It causes whitened areas under the skin. This side effect has been gradually decreasing with time ( started taking gleevec in April 2005 at 400 mg, increasing to 800 mg in June 2005). The soreness became worse with the dose increase. When it first appeared, I took 2 courses of Diflucan in the event that it was Oral Thrush (an oral yeast infection) which does occur periodically in chemotherapy patients. However, the Diflucan didn't help. Some CML list members gave me some helpful suggestions. I found that using Tom's Natural toothpaste, and using Biotene Dry Mouth mouthwash were helpful to decrease the burning associated with brushing my teeth. I understand that there is something called magic mouthwash that can be helpful as a kind of a swish and spit treatment to help numb your mouth a little if you are having trouble eating, however, I can't really vouch for that either way as I didn't try it. Your oncologist or dentist can probably call a prescription for the magic mouthwash in to your phamacist if you want to give it a try. My oncologist didn't know know what about it, but my dentist and pharmacist did. The problem has gradually diminished to the point where it is barely noticeable now. Hang in there, hopefully time will help you too! How long have you been on gleevec? How long have you had the mouth sores? What is your gleevec dosage? Becky Bensenhaver New!

[CML] Second Year Anniversary Survival Today
Greetings My Family Friends It's Monday, November 28, 2005, 12:28am and I want you all to share in my celebration of life. Two years ago today I was diagnosed with CML. This is a glorious day and celebration of life for me. By the grace of God a doctor named Dr. Brian Druker was given the talent to come up with a life saving medication, Gleevec which has kept me alive and not always so well, but most importantly alive! I feel so blest to be here and have the opportunity to email all of you and share this moment, this day in my life. God bless all of us who are still here in the battle to survive. Please think of me today and share my joy. Prayers for Noah and his family.. I want to welcome the newbies I've failed to make contact with in the past week or so. I'm usually johnny on the spot, but due to the loss of my beloved mother and much activity with my son since his release from jail, going to AA and AL-NON meetings and catching up lost time with him, I'm afraid I haven't had the time to personally welcome you. I realize only too well what you are going through but please know that you have found the perfect place for love, kindness, understanding, information and knowledge concerning CML. Don't hestitate to post to the group with anything whatsoever, no question you have is too simple or too hard, nor is it a dumb question. I had heard of leukemia prior to my diagnosis, it took my daddy's baby sister's life at 21 back in the 1930's. I have no idea which kind she had or anything about it. When I was told I had a form of leukemia, called CML and it was the good kind, well I was just stunned and had no earthly idea what to think, what to feel, except sheer terror and I got on the internet immediately and looked up everything I could find about it, bookmarked it on my computer, transferred it from computer to a journal. God led me here to this YahooCMLSupportGroup. I read it only for some weeks to find out all I could, I was skeptical about writing to the group but... one day I felt the need, I needed someone to talk to who knew exactly what I was going through since my family and friends didn't know what I was going through. God pointed me in the right direction and I have been here for almost 2 years. I have recieved so much love, friendship, understanding and what treatment I needed, what kind of doctor I needed, what to expect from the Gleevec and all my thousand of questions from my CML friends and family. I have recieved so many response posts, private emails, letters, cards, phone calls, I don't know where to begin to thank everyone by name. I know that what I found from this group, you will also. I wish the newcomers, and all of us continued success and life. Please feel free to email me privately for any reason. The winter season is upon us now, and with CML and COPD, I will be spending much of my time at home away from the public and germs, bugs, flu and so forth. So I need some extracurricular activity(can't spell or type well.) Just know that I am here should you feel the need to need someone. I hope everyone was able to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday's as much as I did. It was sad and at times very heartbreaking as I just lost my mother the 15th, but I was very happy to be with my husband, children and sister-in-law for the day. We had a wonderful day aside from being worn out trying to cook too much. We've come to a mutual agreement that I and my sister-in-law are just no longer able to cook for hours, so we are having Christmas dinner catered. It will be the third time in 23 years that I did not prepare my family a meal. I was diagnosed Nov. 28th 2003, and I just wasn't in the holiday mood to cook that year, and in 2004 my son was in jail on Xmas Day so I certainly wasn't in the mood that day, and I was also very sick. So this year's holiday's will be very special to me. I hope they will be to you. God bless everyone Love, Peace, Hope Prayers, Pat Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Help save the life of a child.
