Subject: Re: [CMLHope] About John Hopkins Cancer Update
Like I just said, Jeanie your heart and mind are very powerful tools so please
keep up to whatever you doing Try not to think about some of the negative
things in your life but rather some of the positive things in your life.
Hum, I see that you have been sporting among some other things at the end of
your posts the numbers 18's It is telling you something, isn't it?
Do not worry, anything that you may go through in your life you will be able to
handle, just think about that.
I already have when I got CML and had to go to my oncologist every week, and
sometimes twice a week for blood tests. After the test was completed I was told
to go back to the waiting room and would look at some of the people there and
would break into a sweat just waiting there and would wonder what those other
people were also feeling. Sometimes I had to wait for about a half an hour just
sitting there and wait to hear the results and by the time I was called in to
his office the back of my shirt was soaked with my sweat. I will never forgot
that, and I am also sure that most of you if not all of you must also remember
things like that.
Well I was then confronted with the fact that this kind of behavior wasn't
doing my any good because of all of the stress that I was going through, so I
decided at that time no more anxiety that would put me in that position and I
finally decided to look on the brighter side of my life, and I did.
Now, I am just a mortal human being, nothing more and nothing less with
feelings just as some of yours are as well, and I then decided that whatever
would happen I would no longer look at most of those bad things anymore but
just to go on, and so I did and still do.
There were several exceptions that made me not as I would like to have been.
When my father died followed by two years later then my mother then my sister
eight years later who by the way was my bone marrow donor, then a few years
later later my brother died then that put me in a depression that was just not
me but I was also able to deal with it and after a period of grieving for each
one of them. I was able to finally come back to myself, and that also made me
into a much stronger person.
These are some of my personal details that I usually don't discus with any
other people but I felt in necessary to post it here because I want you to
learn from me what went on with me at the time that I had CML.
Also if you want, how many of you had this same thing happen to you concerning
the waiting for the results of your blood tests? And I also know for sure
that you Jeanie have some of the same feelings that I had because your worried
about the outcome of your last blood tests.
Please Jeanie and everyone else that may be reading this you just have to
remember what I just wrote and learn that we all are the same and these
feelings are just human reactions or emotions as a better word may describe,
but when they continue to eat at you all that you need to do is to simply
change your attitude as I once did.
I prefer to live my life as best as I can, no matter what I go through because
I never forget that there may be some bumps in the road but there also some
very good times going along that road as well. How about you?
18's,
Marty

Hi Jeanie and everyone else.
Just to let all of you know I had to go to the hospital for an infection on the
lower part of my left leg, that I got I got last week. They had to admit me and
I was started on Vankromycen IV for the last week and just got home today.
Just another small bump in the road for me.
I hope that everyone is doing well.
18's,

Our food today is full of junk. You would have to grow everything yourself and
use no fertilizer or pesticides. You can't even buy gum or toothpaste without
artificial sweetener. I was a health nut before I got cancer. Go figure. I
think moderation is the key and variety. Try to get organic if possible.
Blessings.
