Yea, I walked out to the mail box this afternoon and one got me. Must be that Jewish, Irish, English blood that runs through my veins. greenie In a message dated 8/29/2015 5:11:51 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Joyce: I go to Sitemen Cancer Center at the Barne's Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. My doctor is Dr. Amanda Cashen. I know she treats many CML patients, not sure about being a CML specialist. I checked her out when the doctor I had previous to her left to go back into research and she did her clinicals under my original doctor that I started out with at Sitemen, Dr. Hannah Koury. Dr. Koury was the greatest.....but I only had him for about six months when he left to go to Emory University hospital in Atlanta to set up a Hematology/Oncology Dept. like Sitemen has. That was back in 2004..... After him, I saw Dr. Vig.......now he may be a specialist, because after about my 3rd or 4th visit with him, he handed me off to another (the one who went back into research) saying that I was not "sick enough", that he only saw those CML patients who were in trouble or having many problems. Once I got Dr. Cashen, I've been very happy with her. She is very compassionate and she'll sit there and talk to me. I also see her nurse practitioner, Holly, almost as much as her. I love them both and would recommend them to anyone. There is a Dr. Depersio within the group of Hematologist/Oncologists that has been listed in the top 100 doctors & I've heard that those who see him are happy with him. I hope this answers your questions. I am very happy going to the Cancer Center....they have an awesome set up if one needs a BMB done, will give you drugs if you need them for the BMB. I've never had a problem with the lab department, they are very good at what they do, you don't have long waits. Greenie: I certainly sympathize with you and the no-see-ems! LOL I hate them as much as the love bugs that get all over the front of the car when driving down. Awful! Jeanie: You keep fighting, girl! I also know what you mean about the dry skin. I have places on my arms of dry skin and my legs are rough as well. I rubbed my hands over my legs and thought to myself, this is almost like sand paper in places. I am going to try rubbing them with Coconut Oil. I've heard a lot of good stuff about that. Oh and Joyce, I don't plan on leaving CML Hope. I love it here. :) Suzieq -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
