Hello, For many months now I have been recieving daily digest from the many differnt groups out there. I rarely post but read the bullitens every day. I would like to say that I have finally gotten around to signing up for this group also and give a fast, and I mean real fast, update. Before I start I think a little history is in order. Some of you might remember me from the past. I was DX when I returned from Iraq and had an ordinarry physical done. My white blood cells were three times the norm and I was called back in to have more test run. This all started 5 May 2004. On 11 May 2004, I was given the news or CML chronic phase. I was turned over from military doctors to civilian care and immediatelly put on Gleevic 400mg. In Oct 2004 I was medically retired from the Army and the good folks at Emory (Atlanta, GA) told me that I was in CCR but still PCR positive. Due to insurance changes I am no longer being seen at Emory but am trying to get referred to University of Alabama at Biringham or to Moffet in Tampa. I have just went over a year since being Dx and things are good. Although I am fighting for referrals, I see my local ONC monthly. My blood levels are still great and with the exception of fatigue (thats another story all together) and severe leg and joint cramops and pain, I am living a great life. I am still in college and classes are going great. I get to build my farm up into something more that paper drawings. I get to go to my kids gym and softball games. I get to spend all day and night with my 2 year old. I am doing great! I want you all to know that I am touched by the love and care you give one another. I am going to make a huge effort to become a more active member of all the groups. I know there was was a "split" a while back and I really don't want to become involved in the politics of all of that. I just want to obtain as much information from as many sources as I can and share what I feel may be relivent to the discussions. I would ask for your continued prayers and support. It seems that I am physically doing great and outwardly I am doing terrific but on the inside and in my mind I am terriblly confused and am having a lot of trouble. I thank you for you support and your time. I am sorry I took up so much of your time with this but... Michael Herring DX May 2004 CCR Oct 2004 Zavie Zero Club # 751 Oct 2004
