Hello Elizabeth and Nick!
I am delighted to hear this news about being able to lower the dosage, thus lowering all the side effects. Sounds like his doc is really on top of things. As for the sweating, I am almost incapacitated by the amount of sweating I do. It's mostly my face and head that it happens to, if I do the least bit of physical anything. Even standing up for five minutes doing nothing will cause me to begin to sweat. This is probably mostly due to heredity, as my sister now is having the same problem and my father did before he passed. Also an antidepressant exacerbates the problem, as well as being overweight. I do not stain my clothes, however. Everything exhausts me, which then produces the facial and head sweating. You are so right about every day being a blessing! So very much to be thankful for, and fulfilling our Bucket Lists should keep us busy as well! I pray your lives after 54 wonderful years of marriage are filled with aha moments and taking care of each other. No greater joy! 18's, Susan F.

Nick's hemoglobin is moving up a little. His Oncologists decided to lower the amount of Gleevec per week. Nick's feeling so much better, too. Sure hope the hemoglobin will continue to move back to a normal level. We are thankful to have a very thoughtful Oncologist who keeps up with all the latest medical information on CML. Thank you all for sharing your updates and information on how different CML treatments affect you. Nick sweats a lot. He has to keep hydrated especially with this high heat. Do any of you sweat profusely? This began when he was 1st diagnosed. Do your clothes stain where you've sweat? Just wondered. Every day is a blessing take care to savor each one. Elizabeth, Nick's wife Celebrating 11 years CML and 54 years of marriage this week.

Please stay in touch. 18's, Marty Susan Zimmerman <[email protected]>: Aug 24 12:10AM -0400 Marty, You are precious and I feel your prayers! I think He's about to give me another rest from medicine, (already!) because of the elevated liver enzymes. I have decided that is a good thing! I'm sure my numbers are even lower than 1.70 (last month), so it's all good. I'm looking forward to getting more energy back. How are things going for you nowadays? No posting about your own issues, come on and share. I know you need a transplant and I and many others are praying hard for that to happen soon! So sweet to give me a 36, I give you a 54!!!!
