This is from Mr. Noles, the husband of Nadia Noles, a member of CMLHope.
Nadia passed away yesterday, at 2:45 PM. Seven days ago she was working in her garden, and today she is gone. She had CML for seven years, and Gleevec was the wonder drug that kept her alive. All the other drugs, such as Sprycel, caused her terrible side-effects, but she tolerated Gleevec. However, seven days ago she became weak and disoriented, and I took her to her PC physician, and she immediately admitted her; but within the hour, after checking her white cells, which stood at 116,000, she was that evening transported to The Cancer Care Unit in Moffitt Cancer Center. She was then diagnosed by her oncologist with now having Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and we were both told she was terminal with only a few weeks to live. We both wanted her to die at home, but it was suggested that she first stabilize in Hospice for two days. However, when she arrived at Hospice she was already in a semi-coma state, and then died the following afternoon. Her passing was relatively painless. Thank you all for the support you gave her in the past years. I can tell you that she often talked about how much your support meant to her. Now life is for the living… so keep the faith while you go through your own struggles.
