Dear Susan, If you should ever need this new drug then at least you know about it. However, I hope that you can just continue to be off all drugs and do well. Susan, you are a miracle! 18's Marty On Sat, Oct 27, 2012 at 4:35 PM, Susan Zimmerman <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > wrote: Thank you Marty for the article on both new drugs. My oncologist told me bosutinib was for something else altogether and he certainly never heard of the newest one either. Makes me think I need to change docs. He's never used anything except gleevec and sprycel. I'm the one still off all meds, and when or if I need it I choose tasigna or one of the two new ones....due to unusual bleeding. We'll see! Think I'll call for my doc's e-mail on Monday and send your article to him. Thanks again. 18's to you, Susan F. Zimmerman "Look among the nations and watch; be utterly astounded!

Hi Millie, As you can see your post to me did come through. Thank you for your reply. I would like to answer your questions and comments so I will write in between your lines in CAPS.

I received your message about the new drug that's out, and was going to write last night and thank you for sending out the information, but got tired, shut down, and went to bed. I've been in a lot of pain lately, and laying down seems to help. YES I KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THE PAIN YOUR HAVING, AND I AM REALLY SORRY TO HEAR THAT. I PRAY THAT IT WILL EASE UP ON YOU. I ALSO HAVE SOME TERRIBLE PAIN IN MY BACK AND JUST LIKE YOU I HAVE TO LAY DOWN IN BED TO EASE IT. I SOMETIMES USE A HEATING PAD AND IT WORKS BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. I EVEN WENT TO A MASSAGE THERIPIST AND THAT SEEMED TO HELP BUT JUST TEMPORARILY AS WELL. I TRY NOT TO TAKE ANY PAIN MEDICATION BECAUSE OF MY KIDNEY FAILURE AND IT WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY DIALYSIS TREATMENTS I was using a pain patch (Lidocaine) and stopped as when I took it off a couple of weeks ago, there was blood on the patch. My cardiologist said that it was probably because of my thinning skin. MILLIE, WHY DON'T YOU TRY SOMETHING CALLED BAG BALM ON THE SKIN THAT IS BLEEDING. JUST DON'T PUT ANYTHING ON IT UNTIL IT STARTS TO HEAL. BAG BALM IS VERY GREASY SO NOTHING WILL BE ABLE TO STICK TO IT. IT'S ORIGINAL USE WAS FOR COWS UTTERS ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER WHEN THEY ARE CHAPPED BUT IT REALLY WORKS WELL FOR ANY SKIN PROBLEMS. IT COMES IN TWO SIZES. MAKE SURE TO BUY THE SMALL SIZE BECAUSE IT WILL LAST FOREVER. JUST A DAB WILL DO YOU AS THEY SAY. IT COMES IN A GREEN SQUARE CAN AND CAN PROBABLY BE PURCHASED AT SOME OF THE LARGE DRUG CHAINS LIKE CVS OR WALGREENS. I didn't use them all of the time, but maybe once or twice a week. I may try it again when it is all healed. Don't know yet! At any rate, trying to control the pain is difficult and I don't like to take a lot of the Vicoden, so limit myself to once or twice a day. I hope that this finds you doing okay. I know that you go through a lot and that you are a very strong person. ACTUALLY MILLIE, ANYONE THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH ANYTHING LIKE YOU OR ME IS AUTOMATICALLY A STRONG PERSON. WE DIDN'T ASK TO BE SICK BUT NOW THAT WE ARE WE JUST HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH IT. I think of you when I'm hurting and know it's nothing compared to what you have to deal with. You are always here for all of us, and I know you are appreciated by all. MILLIE, I AM NO DIFFERENT FROM YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. WE JUST HAVE TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO JUST KEEP ON GOING. AGAIN I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PAIN. I HOPE THAT IT WILL GET BETTER REAL SOON. We have a bad storm headed out way, and it looks like the whole state of PA will be involved. I'm only hoping that it won't last to long and not cause a lot of damage. I worry about the trees coming down on the house, but there's nothing I can do about that either. My middle son always tells me that worry doesn't help anything....or stop anything from happening. I know that he's right. Actually, he and his family live in New Jersey and will get more of the storm then we will. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MIDDLE SON IS A BRIGHT PERSON. YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE SOME ADVICE FROM HIM BECAUSE WORRYING CAN DO NOTHING FOR YOU BUT TO JUST MAKE YOU UPSET. I ALSO HAVE A HOME IN PA AS YOU ALREADY KNOW AND IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO IT WELL AT LEAST I'M NOT IN IT AND NITHER ARE MY FAMILY. INSURANCE IS WHAT IS NEEDED AND I HAVE IT SO I JUST CAN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. You take care, and let me know how you're doing. I do keep you in my prayers and think of you often. Were you able to get to PA this year? THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS. YES WE DID GO UP TO PA THIS PAST SUMMER. IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE MUST DRIVE ALL THE WAY UP THERE. WE SPEND TWO NIGHTS OUT AT MOTELS BECAUSE I RAISE CANARIES AND HAVE ABOUT TEN OF THEM RIGHT NOW. I HAD MORE THEN FIFTY SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IT WAS TO DIFFICULT TO MANAGE ALL OF THEM. I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT ARE ALSO INTO CANARIES SO I WAS ABLE TO FINF THEM VERY GOOD HOMES. I ALSO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DOG THAT I RESCUED FROM A KILL SHELTER FIVE YEARS AGO. I ALSO HAD TO MAKE ARRAINGMENTS FOR MY DIALYSIS TREATMENTS, AND THERE IS A DIALYSIS CLINIC IN A TOWN CALLED HONESDALE PA ABOUT TWENTY FIVE MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE. 18's to you, Millie AND 18'S TO YOU AS WELL.
