Re: [CML] some good ideas for some good people

[SHARMAN DENISON]

I live in Pagosa Springs , Co. I look out my window and see the Great Divide. It is 5 hours to Denver and 4 hours to Albuquerque. My "regular" onc. is Dr. John Saiki who is at U.N.M. Cancer center. I am going to see him tomorrow. Yes, the BMB was in June, and I needed 16% blasts...I was heart broken to find out I missed the "mark".

Thank you so much! I have been up against so many road blocks with my CML...and I know, everyday is a blessing. I tried and tried to get on the BMS study...but it looks like I would have to go to Houston or LA to be treated, and I simply can't afford that. I have a life, kids, a man, horses. Without them I would feel like giving up. My last BMB told I have 14% blast cells, and 80,000 WBC. I am tired and angry that the world of western medicine seems to be controlled by the big business of the drug companies. I tried to get into the BMS program in Denver but fell into the cracks. So, I am continuing the Gleevec, and trying some Indian herbs. Last night I had the chills SO bad, then I went into a fever. I had a 102.6 fever, This happens to me often. I am so week, and the procrit just seems to help a little. But I push on..and like you say, each day is a blessing. I think I will go ride my horse ride right now.

I pray daily that God gives us the strength to fight this disease with all our hearts. Put on your armour of faith and  fight the good battle of faith. Live each day to the fullest. Help someone daily if you can. Eat right and take care of your body. Fresh air and sunshine can be a good medicine in and of itself. Take a walk even if it's around you yard. Count your many blessings daily. Good things happen to us daily; let's dwell on those good things and not the negative. A good movie, a wonderful song, a bird singing outside you window. Don't take them for granted anymore. A walk on the beach with a loved one; what more could you ask. If you are in a stressful situation due to family, learn to take sometime each day and meditate on good things. Remember, we can't always change a situation but we can manage how we react to it. Some good ideas for some good people. Blessings everyone, Jeanie<3 New!
