Hello Peg, So glad to hear from you! We are tough, us CML bunch. We can take it if you want to share with us the additional battles that have gone along with your CML. We are here to encourage! You don't need to suffer alone, (altho I'm hoping you have a good family, etc.) Your battle could have involved fear, as most people would let it in. But just to remind, fear is False Evidence Appearing Real, put there by the enemy. Can you think of one thing that is good about fear? Same goes for worry. No, they are only destructive. Many of us have come to the place where we know our bodies are only one third of our whole being, and probably the least important of the three. (body, soul and spirit). So we try to let the other two rule our thinking, our outward actions, and so on. I know because of your faith you walk by faith, not by sight!
I just thought of a good joke that came from facebook. A big picture of a huge grisly bear roaring. The caption read, "Fear NOTHING! Except a grisly bear, because they will kill you." Anyway, so glad your reports are getting better all the time. I hope you enjoy your days and come back to share a word with us often! We have missed you! 18's and blessings, Susan F. Zimmerman "Look among the nations and watch; be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you."

Getting good support is also key to quality of life, as it's a lot less lonely...and together we can persevere... I am so sorry you have had to go through all that you did....I hope and pray that it somehow gets easier for you...wow...2 years at zero is marvelous, but the price you have paid........I don't have words for that..except you are so resilient, so amazing....take good care and know that you are cared for and loved here... 18's, love and hugs, Beth -----Original Message----- From: Myvety2k via CMLHope <[email protected]> To: cmlhope <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, Feb 2, 2016 2:24 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Just wanted to check in with folks I remember Peg, that was my Aunt's name. Anyway, don't be a stranger. All of us that have CML are in the same boat but taking different drugs. I've been on Gleevec 16 years 1 month, yes their are side effects but done that I can't handle. Cramps are the worse but I'm still here driving my wife crazy and she love's every second of it :).... greenie club member #48 In a message dated 2/2/2016 1:55:33 P.M.

I am now two years at zero detectable on only 100mg of Tasigna daily...1/4th of the recommended dosage. It got a bit rocky for a while, not from the CML, but along that course they diagnosed me with five other, assume-ably unrelated, cancers including skin, gastric, thyroid and lungs! While I never lost my hope, I didn't wanted to dim anyone else's hope by sharing news from my scary corner. However, as of last month, all cancers are regressing, some we know for certain are also due to Tasigna, and well, the others they are not sure why, so I choose to believe it is also because of the Tasigna...and faith! I am battling some malnutrition issues that were from a severe reaction I had to Gleevec when I was first diagnosed six years ago, but now knowing what those are we are slowly making improvement towards gaining back a quality of life. You can never underestimate the value of quality of life! I hope you are all finding your own quality, never give up on that. You are never far from my thoughts and prayers! Six years and still here!
