Hi Judy, Sorry to hear about you needing to be on dialysis. Can you tell me what your Creatinine and Bun levels are? Have they placed an access in your chest or arm yet? Do you know anything about Peritneial dialysis?
Try not to be to scared because it is just something that you have to do. If you would like to learn more about it then let me know and I would be happy to help you. I have been on it for about a year and all it takes is some getting used to. 18's, Marty On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM, judy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > *From:* Martin Gartenberg <[email protected]> > *To:* [email protected] > *Sent:* Tuesday, June 12, 2012 8:23 AM > *Subject:* Re: [CMLHope] > Re: Millie that food sounds good > Please excuse the tag on I have to have dialisis and I am scared to > death. even more scared than when they told me I had CML could you > please tell me what happens I see the Dr next week Thank you JUDY > > Hi Millie, > > There is so much to answer I will write in between your lines so I won't > miss anything. > > Hi Marty.....Didn't know that you also have a home in PA.
