Hi Sue, I read your post and just wanted to make some comments. Personally I think that your hanging around with some people that I would classify as Anal Orifices. And I only say that to be polite. Or even more possible they suffer from Rectal Cranial Inversion (their head is up their Azz.
I have to tell you that if one of them had CML or any other type of cancer then they would certainly have a different attitude. I hate to say this but sometimes you should keep some things to yourself because of people like that. The less they know about you then the better it will be for you. Anyway, now that is off my chest let me go into something more important. First, you have come to right place. All of those that are here are very compassionate and really care about each other. They have already gone through this and will be very happy to help you out with any questions and anything else they can and will help you with this. CML is not what it used to be because it is not a "death sentence" anymore. There have been so many improvements in it's treatment, not like in my day. I don't know what you may know about me but I am here to help you out in any way that I can. If you have read any of my posts you will see what I mean. Remember any time that you would like to post anything please feel free to do so. I would like to welcome you to this site. Sue, whenever I end any of my posts I end it with two numbers 18 which is the symbol for life. 18's to you Sue.
