Thank you Jeanie, Marty, Millie, and everyone else who send prayers...etc..I agree how unbelievably important it is to stay in community and know others are there, thinking of you, listening and and praying each in their own way for you and one another. I am still off chemo...working on back pain....calming it down...getting ready to restart up soon. Did BCR on Friday...will see results next week...and go from there...
As I re uptake sprycel, I am wondering if anyone has had any success managing elevated CPK...with anything besides ongoing prednizone use? Trying to keep that side effect under control from the get go this time....thoughts?? Love to all of you, Beth -----Original Message----- From: houtz <[email protected]> To: cmlhope <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Mar 8, 2014 4:07 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Marty and Beth Just want you to know that I'm thinking about you and hoping that each day you ill improve and get your numbers to where they should be. I pray that you're n remission soon and that you can get back to life and all it has to offer. ou've been through so very much, and I hope that you can listen to your surgeon nd not over do things to soon. It does take a while to get past any surgery. ime heals, so please take it easy and let your recovery happen. I'm dealing ith the pain, and having home care is helping as I don't have to leave the ouse to get the blood work done. They are getting me a meter to be able to onitor my blood thinner from home. I'm not sure if I'll be approved, but we hall see. I wasn't going to get one, but my nurse says I should have it. If t doesn't work for me, then I'll just have to go get the blood work done. I'm ot going to think or worry about it. It will either work for me, or it won't.. ime will tell. Meanwhile, you take care and keep healing. Keep us up on how things are going or you. You're always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. I think that, s a group, we do well in helping one another and as Marty says, that is what e're here for.... to help one another. and I am a firm believer that it works. 've improved so much in the past few days and I know that it's because I've ad all of you to say prayers and encourage me to get better. Just know that y prayers are being said for all of us.

The ast I heard was days ago and he was having trouble with his dialysis and ounded really bad. If anyone has heard, would you please put it on our ite. I will write again today and he has always answered my e-mails, even ot feeling well. They were short, but I knew that he was not doing well. f I hear any more, I'll let you know. I know that dialysis wasn't going ell and don't know if they were able to use his new port or not. Actually, t's not a port, but has another name that I forget. I haven't heard from ny of you, so if you are checking your e-mails, please let me know what's going on with each one of you. My latest is that, even on 1/2 dose of the Tasigna, I'm still in emission. The bad news is that every muscle and joint in my body is screaming nd hey put me back on Home Care. I can hardly do anything. I did manage to o downstairs for a while today. My physical therapist came and had me go own.. This after noon my occupational therapist is coming to work on my pper body strength. She made it worse a year ago when she worked on it, so f that happens this time, I'll tell her that I don't want any. The gal hat worked on my legs today was very good, and I want to keep her. The ther one doesn't listen to anything you tell her. Oh well, others have thrown er out of their house, and I just might do the same thing. I have an aid hat comes every couple of days to bathe me as I can't get into the shower ight now. I'd fall if I tried. I can't use my walker very well, and just etting from my bedroom to the bathroom is horrible, causing me so much ain. I have to have someone with me when I attempt that. My aid and the urse that comes a couple of times a week are wonderful. I had them the last wo times I was under home care. I know that the nurse is going to take lood tomorrow. That's always fun. :>) I'm trying hard to do what I have o do. My wonderful son is doing everything for me right now and I want to et back to the point where I can do things for myself. Enough about me. I ust wanted to catch up on these things with all of you. I hope that ou're all doing as well as you can. Write and tell me how it's going. Thank od for my television, phone, and computer in my room. It's nice to be able o connect with the world. It keeps me out of trouble. Again, if anyone knows anything about Marty, please let us all know. If I ear anything, I'll let you know. Marty has become a good friend to me and o others on our site.
