Hi Richard, That is good to hear. It seems that I have traveled along the same road that you did. And in my travels I had to take both Mr. Procrit and at times Mrs. Neupogen because of having a low amount of Uncle Hemoglobin which led me to know the rest of my cousins Sleepy, Tired, Exhausted, Grumpy, and Mr. General Out Of Breath.
Anyway that is how I felt when my kidneys, the twins failed, and in doing so causes them to not being able to produce a specific Hormone that travels to your bone marrow and populates it with Uncle Hemoglobin and you become anemic just like some of my cousins if you don't take these shots. By the way your protein levels also take a hit so you have to eat a lot more of protein enhancers like red meat, fish, chicken, turkey and among other thing eggs just to name a few. Unfortunately it is just a vicious cycle that you have to deal with. However you are "lucky" if that is the proper word to use because of your reduction of Gleevec and still being PCRU. Now your system is actually getting back to itself. So yes, maybe that "Lucky" word IS the proper word to use. Now you also indicate in one of your sentences that, "I am currently just traveling along this slowly(HA!) older path". Now as you have written the word (HA!) it shows me that you have a seance of humor in your life, and that is why I have introduced you to some of my "family members" I have learned in my life several things: Your mind controls your body and some may not agree with me on this but it sure does for me. And secondly, when your smiling your not crying. In fact my kidney surgeon told me one time "Always smile" and he was right excepting when someone that is close to you passes on, then it is that exception. In any event Richard I am very happy that your doing so well 👋😀 You have a great day. 18's, Marty On Sat, Nov 18, 2017 at 12:15 AM, Richard H <rbhuffm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. > > I am currently just traveling along this slowly(HA!) getting older path. > My CML is staying undetectable and by dropping Gleevec to 200mg per day has > helped me reduce my Procrit shots to check on it every 2 weeks. > > 18's > > Richard H. > > -- > -- > [CMLHope] > A support group of http://cmlhope.com > ------------------------------------------------- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CMLHope" group. > To post to this group, send email to CMLHope@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to CMLHope-unsubscribe@ > googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/ > group/CMLHope > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "CMLHope" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to cmlhope+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
