Subject: [CMLHope] Haven't had any
Gleevec for a year.
Well, I was at MDAnderson
yesterday for my check up. My blood work was great but of course, it take two
weeks to get the results from the BMA. It has been one year since my last
Gleevec. I was on the PR1 vaccine from August to December. I'm
still doing good. Number 956 in the Zero Club. It never leaves my mind, I
think of CML every day and thank the Lord for saving me.

that you get vacations from retirement. He is still
working.
