[CMLHope] Acaria health

2019-09-25 Thread 'icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hello everyone
I had the strangest thing happen to me in reference to my Ponatinib. Is anyone 
on Ponatinib ?
I got a letter telling me ascaria health would be handling my drug from now on. 
I did t ask for this so decided to wait until biologics called to refill my 
prescription. Well they called and asked me if I was ready for refill. Never 
mentioned as aria and my medicine came As usual. I was so happy. So my question 
is should I notify someone of this as it seems like a fraud to me. This 
medicine is very expenvive. It is 17,000 $ a month.  Has anyone ever have this 
happened?  I’ve researched google with no answers. 
 Norm I remember when you helped me run the tasigna group.   I couldn’t take 
it. Talk later all the news. You and your wife love are so up lifting. Yes love 
you so very much.

[CMLHope] Merry Christmas and happy Holidays to all

2018-12-15 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi all
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. 
I am ending the year fighting another disease: thyroid. At least that’s what 
they think it is.  Lost about 30 pounds: losing hair-sweating for no reason and 
more. I can’t take the meds as they make it worse. 
No matter what-fight on.

Re: [CMLHope] Hi Shaun question

2018-12-15 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Thanks so much Shaun.  I always knew he was suffering and he tick on our 
sufferings too. I miss him so much.  He was helping me with my new thyroid 
disease while he was in rehab. 
Have you given some thought to having his book published?  If you decide to 
have it published I could get my daughter to help you through amazon kindle. He 
gave me parts of the book and it was so uplifting.  You can feel his love and 
care come through his pages 
I especially loved the part about the pair of walking shoes. He left his love 
on earth and I can still feel his spirit in my daily battle against leukemia 
and other old age problems he was helping us with. 
Good luck and keep in touch. 
Love ya!
Jeanie

Re: [CMLHope] Hey there

Hi Joyce
How do you take care of blood clots and what do they look like?  My chemo 
Causes blood clots and was recalled because of this and causing heart attacks 
and HP. I take aspirin with mine and have had HP most of my adult life.  hP 
meds gives me heart pain so I just do the best we can. 
Let's all remember Millie in our prayers. She was a brave warrior. She said her 
pee had turned black and she had a sore on her foot wouldn't heal.  Of course 
anyone from this list who stays in your heart and this list was your basic 
contact.  Millie could really cook and she would give me recipes.  I told her 
it was strange I'm from Fl and she's from PA and we still love same of same 
foods.  She lived to cook and freeze for later.  
More later

 Beautiful slideshow, Marty.  Thank you.
 Have not been on this site for 3 weeks.  Went to ER with gallbladder 
 attack and they did a CAT scan and noticed that my old hiatal hernia that 
 has been bugging me for some 20 years had twisted, and evidently that is a 
 very bad thing, because they put me in an ambulance and sent me from our 
 local hospital to BarnesJewish in St Louis and said I would have emergency 
 surgery as soon as I got there.  That didn’t happen but I was in the 
 hospital for 3 days as they did test upon test.  I went home for 3 days 
 and had surgery on Monday the next week.  Had gallbladder removed and 
 hiatal hernia was repaired.  I was doing very well and planned to go home 
 on Wednesday when my oxygen levels went down.  Long story short:  I had 
 blood clots in both lungs and one in my right calf.  Was in hospital for 8 
 days and came home using belly shots of Lovenox to bridge to warfarin.  Am 
 doing better and gaining strength.  Had to eat pureed food for 2 weeks.  
 Now on soft diet.  It was a trying time because I am the caregiver for my 
 husband who has CML and is also legally blind.  But we  pulled through 
 with the help of our two daughters.  I’ll have to get caught up on what 
 went on while I was out of commission.

Hi everyone,
I haven't had a stroke but the chemo I'm on now, Ponatinib, will cause  
stroke, blood clots, heart attacks, and you name it is a side effect of this  
chemo, however, after being in blast I went into remission within just 3 
months  on this chemo; Praise God from whom all blessings flo.
 
My girls and grandson took me out for a fantastic lunch yest. and what a  
memory maker that is.
 
My mother had a stroke when she was about 78 and the only thing she could  
remember was how to sign her name.  She had to learn how to speak and write  
again; went to classes and soon was almost back to normal.  Strokes run in  
our family; my grandmother and mother plus my sister all having them at 
about  age 78.  My sister didn't make it through hers but my grandmother and  
mother did.
 
Could you tell us how you felt when you were having your stroke?  Did  you 
take aspirin?
 
I found out I had leukemia in 2009 after being so tired after my usual  
walks.  Had blood test and immediately put in hospital for blood cleansing  and 
then put on Gleevec.  It was a rough road on Gleevec and then the  mutants 
took over---more later.
Enjoy the day and keep on fighting warrior.

I use Medicare part D prescription coverage.  They cover most of the cost I

yes talk to your Medicare office. I use Humana for drugs. Good luck.

Yes, they never told the truth about pesticides back then. I put nothing in my 
yard these days. 
They also did mass spraying for mosquitoes back then.  They would drive by and 
have a big sprayer going. 
I never knew what was in that spray.   Like you said who knows???
I hope they are making a safer world today for our kids.  Love❤️

Yes Marty I've always wondered why I got leukemia.  I am the youngest of 11 
children and no cancer in family except lung cancer and 1 breast cancer in my 
older sister.  
I didn't even know much about leukemia when I was dx.  
Even with fighting cml for 12 years I have had a full rich life. 
I got to go to the mountains with my daughters and granddaughter.  We stayed in 
a beautiful cabin high in the mountains.  
We toured the Great Smoky Mountains and they are beautiful.  
I am now spending a week with my daughters and we are enjoying our visit.

Hi Raj
I was in Gleevec for 5 years and then it quit working for me. My platelets and 
WBC shot up really high. I was put in Tasigna but it never worked for me. Then 
I went in sprycel and it worked for a few years and put me in remission. It 
quit working and again my platelets and WBC shot up.  I'm on Ponatinib now and 
doing really good in it.  Make sure not to do proton pump inhibitors while on 
tkis. 
How are your regular blood results. 
Good luck.

[CMLHope] Getting better

2016-05-13 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Thanks Beth, Marty, and everyone for uplifting me.  I hadn't had the flu in so 
long I forgot how sick it makes you. 
It must be a virus the flu shot didn't cover. 
I am much better but have deep congestive cough.  
Almost done with antibiotics.  
My girls are taking me to the mountains. We are leaving Sunday 
They have rented a cabin on a mountain so I think I'll be ok

Re: [CMLHope] Really sick with sore throat and flu. I had my flu shots so

2016-05-11 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi Beth and thank you so much for your love and concern. II am taking 
antibiotics and this is my sixth day. My throat has cleared up but I have a 
deep congestive cough. I am getting better. Each day I feel a little stronger. 
I think there is a virus going around that no one has identified yet. Anyway 
have a wonderful weekand thanks again. This group has really boosted my morale 
Greatly. Love you

Re: [CMLHope] Really sick with sore throat and flu. I had my flu shots so

2016-05-10 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi Joyce and thanks so much. I have been so sick I can't remember the last time 
I had the flu. So you are right that was a bad batch of flu medicine. I know 
what you mean about not being able to enjoy company. I was supposed to be on my 
vacation and the girls had to leave without me. I am hoping to feel well enough 
to go on their second lag up to the mountains. My daughter rented a cabin up on 
a mountain. But if I don't start feeling better I won't be able to make it. 
This flu started with a very bad throat pain. Then went down into my chest and 
I am having deep chest coughing. 
Good luck with your company and get better. I love you.

2016-05-03 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Yes Beth I miss your uplifting posts. I know we are all fighting and it gets to 
be hard, but sharing does help.  
I am doing good on Ponatinib with few side effects but the side pain I with me 
all the time.
And yes Beth waiting to get our blood results can be scary.   It always 
surprises me when the doctor walks in and all is good.  It's like I'm waiting 
for the bomb to drop. 
I go to Moffitt every three months now.  I'm still in remission. However 
leukemia can rear its ugly head ant time as we all know.  
I tend to live each day as best I can and try not to worry.  
Share with us what you can Beth and keep in touch. ❤️❤️

I'm sorry too.   With illness it's like taking one step forward and one step 
back.  The good thing is that we are all still stepping. 
Our stories can be someone's uplift for the day. 
Let's hear from everyone and keep our stepping stone well. 
Each day is a treasure and God will see us through the rough ones. ❤️❤️

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Hello all

2016-04-17 Thread ICANDOALLTTC via CMLHope
Hi Skip and thanks so  much for that update!
You are truly a wonder!
This is my 12th year fighting CML so I'm just a baby hehe.
I also failed on all the tkis and was put on the newest: Ponatinib.
It is working good with little side effects.
There is only one other CML warrior on this drug: John.
Can we hear from you John?
I have had a bad side pain that the test don't show anything, but it is a  
bad pain so just have to treat it.
This pain started to get bad on Tasigna.
I had to have transfusions too on Tasigna and as you said, not a bad thing  
to go through just time consuming.
I am just thankful for each day and for our CML warriors who help us  
through the battle so we are not alone.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Jeanie<3

Well for those who may not know me, Name is Stewart Duffie  (Skip) I have 
had CML for about 38 years now.  When I first was diag in  1977 there was not 
much in the line of drugs, in fact there was none except  Myleran.  I 
survived with drug for 27 years, the Hem docs said to my GP  let his counts go 
up 
until over 100,000 (wbc) and then start myleran at 2mg  a day until it 
comes down to about 50% then one mg a day until it gets down  to about 30,000 
then 1/2 mg until about 20,000 then stop. Let the wbc drift  until until it 
gets back to over 100,000 then repeat all over again, we did  this every year 
until 27 years was up then my spleen started to act up.  Wheee there was a 
new drug would I go on the trial .. yeep Imatinib  would be my new drug It 
was not cheap, but we went on it until after about 2  years my Hem doc it was 
not working, beside he wanted me to try new drug  call Nilotinib, same 
company just stronger, so I took nilotnib until it  failed after some time. but 
we have a new drug coming down the line called  Dasatinib lets try that.  
That game so much plural Infusion they had to  quit.  
went back on Nilotinib.  I was in my 30th year with CML.  I  gues the doc 
thought it was a lost cause so he said will see you in six  months, well by 
that time my WBC. RBC, Plts, Neut, and ANC all we in the  critical stage, 
started getting blood and platelets twice week That is every  Tue received 
platetlets IV . platelets and  Fri IV  Red Blood  Cells.  The my Ferritin 
started going up until now it is over 9,000 it  should be 200 I get Desferol 
three 
time IV for it.  My Platelets are  low due to all these ddrugs over the 
years killing my bone marrow so I  cannot product plts.  Red goes down but not 
as fast. I see all of you  with CML that have such a hard time. Yet I am 
just coasting through this  feeling not to bad, have had some rought spots, but 
all in all I feel not to  bad I am getting up in years now, 
For those of you needing infusions it is not too bad, I have a PICC  Line 
in (see utube Purple PICC lines ) People donate blood and plts how  kind as I 
get single donor platelets 
Apheresis Platelets) which  take a 4 hours to give. other than cml I am 
healthy


Next I want to thank Marty and I candoallttc asking me to talk about my  
journy with CML .  Thanks so much for your interest.

and on the internet depends on where my  blood and platelets are.  all that 
means is how tired I am.  I  do read all the posts when I can.  I want to say 
hi to all the long  timers and the newbies to CML.  I think someone once

[CMLHope] John are you good?

2016-04-14 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi John, 
I was wondering how you are.   We are the only ones in this group who are on 
Ponatinib.  I wanted you to know I am in remission.  I have been in this tki 
for 12 months now!!! Can you believe it
Don't have a lot of get up and go but hanging in there. 
Kids have a vacation for me in May so I'm hoping to be able to go. 
Bless you and look forward to your reply.

Re: [CMLHope] Your Mom

2016-04-08 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi Marty and good advice. I never realized that you took so many pills. God 
bless you and keep you always.  
Millie used to tell me how many pills she had to take at one time. She fought 
so hard and it was such a brave warrior and I still miss her and I know the 
group does too. 
We all have our burdens and must fight each burden as it comes. But as a group 
we can help each other to the end. 
You are a great warrior and a great blessing to all of us. Thank you so much 
for your uplifting.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: An update

2016-04-07 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Hi Sue
Good to hear from you. 
Yes I think you and I were diagnosed the same year. This is my 12th year 
fighting leukemia. 
I had to change medicines three times. My last Tki is Ponatinib.   This is my 
fourth Tki and I find it to be one of the best I have taken. I am now in 
remission thank you Jesus!!!
We have been together in this fight for a long time. Thank you so much for 
being a friend in deed. 
Being a caregiver is going to be hard but it is also going to be very 
spiritual. You will find the strength you never knew you had to help your mom. 
My mom live to be 87 and she fought so hard to live. I loved her very much and 
I still miss her very much but I know we all have to make that journey into 
Heaven. 
Take care of yourself as you care for your mom and always know we are here for 
you. 
Check your mom's mad at sons to see if some of these could be causing a 
problem. This sometimes happens when we are taking different medicines. 
God bless you and make every day count for you and your family.

Hi Kate,
I was on Gleevec for 5 years and it can cause every kind of rash.  I had bad 
painful rash and boils.  I found you just have to treat the side effects as 
best you can. I was given hydrocortizone cream and used home treatments also. 
One side effect can end and then another will pop up.  Just be patient and try 
to get relief when you can. God bless you.

Hi and yes I use bag balm.  My son bought it at a farm store.
I had rashes, boils, and you name it while on Gleevec.
It works really well.
My doctor gave me some hydrocortizone cream.
Try anything you can and see what works for you.
Mile soda water solution is good also.
Blessings

Hi Kate,


I am sad that you have to be here, but at the same time I am also  glad 
that your here. Sad you have CML but glad because you will be able to  learn 
many things from everyone of us that are here. 


Do you know or possibly know of anyone that have used Bag Balm? Well you  
actually now know of someone that did.. Me.


If you have any rashes or worse on your body, as long as they are not in  
places that come in contact with your clothing because this is very greasy 
and  you don't want it on any of your clothing. 


When I had my bone marrow transplant 27 years ago I had to undergo total  
body radiation after my procedure was completed my body suffered from severe  
burns. My toes were black my ears, nose, fingers, head, hands and most  
other parts, even the bottoms of my feet, and that was the worst of it because  
I was living in a plastic 6 by 9 bubble in the hospital at the time and  
all of the radiation had to be finished at the time. 


They were not even allowed to enter this bubble because it would expose  me 
to any types of bacteria, or mold or any types of viruses, so I had to  
survive living in pain until I was finally able to get out of  there.


They tried many different things like Kerry oil or lotion but it only  
worked very little to heal all of the burns. A friend of mine told me to try  
Bag Balm so I tried it and it finally worked!


Bag Balm comes in small square green tins usually in either 1 ounce or 8  
ounce sizes. They are very inexpensive usually between $6 to $8. They will  
last over 27 years or more providing that you don't touch it with your 
fingers  but a Q-tip would be fine because you only need a very small amount.


I have had my 8 ounce tin for over 27 years now and still use it from  time 
to time and about one half is still left, so you may just wand the one  
ounce tin, but since the price between the 8 ounce and one ounce are only a  
couple of dollars then you make up your mind.


Remember it was and still is used for the otters of cows usually in the  
winter time when they are chapped.

side effects Specially  bad acne break outs. All he  says it's because I'm

The pain on side has gone so at least for now I'm not going to  worry about

Hi Emile,


I have been getting some posts from this site asking to be able to put  
themselves on the list. I couldn't sleep so I was up from 3 am until now  
trying to peace everything together. I know for a fact that Bobby Doyle is 840  
but it wasn't posted. Then there is Jeannie  and they just posted this  
morning so their posts should appear right this morning. I would kindly  ask 
you 
to update their name/s into the list it could start the ball  rolling. 


However if anyone doesn't remember their number then it would probably  
make things very difficult but maybe if someone out there does have  the rest 
of the of list then "Bingo" were in business!


There is another site that I usually post on and I already have posted  the 
list on there but for now lets try getting everything on here.


I am really tired now so I need some restful sleep about now.


Thank you everyone.

Hi Marcie
I loved the wig idea.  My hair was coming out in clumps on Gleevec but for some 
reason it grew back in. 
On Ponatinib my hair is coming out again. So thin and my skin feels like 
leather.  It feels so strange to look at your brush and see all that hair in 
it. 
Wigs for me too if it doesn't stop. 
Thanks for the update.

Hi Marcie and happy Easter to you too. 
Glad your pain has stopped. Mine used to stop too but now is constant.  
Have you had your gallbladder out?  I had mine out years ago. 
Yes get an MRI or ultrasound as soon as you can.  I just had a chest X-ray and 
showed my lungs were good and nothing changed since I had my last one. 
Hang in there warrior.

Wow Angie! My platelets go high not low.  So sorry to hear that. I did have 
transfusions on Tasigna as my platelets went under 8. I think he could have 
taken me off meds and they would have gone up. 
Every thing is good now.

Hi Anthony and good to hear from you.  My right side pain was with me for a 
while but got worse when put in Tasigna.  
It now goes up to a 10 and have to take pain meds for it. No cure just 
management.  Probably a lot like Lupus. 
What tki do you take?

Hi Susan and thanks so much. 
My side pain is still bad but tests show nothing. Just treating the pain.  I 
read something about an MS hug.  My side pain has a lot of similarities to 
that.  
I think the tkis caused this as it got worse when I had to go on Tasigna.  
My Creatine was up but it seems to go up and down along with potassium.  
I've been on Ponatinib for 12 months now. 
No test planned thank Heavens. Have to go back in 3 months.  They take PCR 
every 3 months. I forgot to get my last results. Thanks again.

Hi Susan and Marcie
Prayers for both of you.  Sorry for your hospital stay but we need them when we 
get sick.  I hope you find the root of your problems.  
I had my gallbladder out many years ago.   That's some bad pain.  Good luck. 
Susan good luck off meds.  Hang in there and fight. Blessings

Hi Shannon and great to hear from you.   So happy Gleevec is working.   It quit 
working for me after 5 years as you probably remember.  
I am now on one of the new generation of drugs called Ponatinib. It is working 
for me for one year now. 
You are still a young chick. Keep fighting and taking pictures.  Your son 
sounds wonderful.  
Love and happy Easter to you!!!

Hi Richard and thanks for the update. I didn't know they still did call ins. 
I feel my mom wouldn't be here if she hadn't had her pacemaker. 
She never had to have the battery replaced.  
She was overweight when she had it put in and the doctor told her to lose 
weight.  He said it was like putting a volts wagon battery in a Cadillac.  She 
did lose weight after being overweight all her life.  Just changed her way of 
eating. 
Good luck all.

Hi Marty and so happy to hear you are home.  I was wondering why they didn't 
put in a pacemaker. My mom had to have one in her 70s and her heart ran smooth 
until she passed away at 87. I remember she had a phone that she could test it 
every week.  It beat at a steady 70 beats per minute. 
My sister 84 recently had to have one and my brother had one put in in his 70s. 
So keep ticking and praying for all of us.

2016-03-19 Thread 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope
Thanks Peg,
You are so right.  I was reading the side effects of ponatinib and i was 
thinking I have to take this??!
Well yes I do and blood clots and heart problems are right up there high on the 
list. 
My potassium tends to be high also and you can get heart problems from that. 
Just have to fight on and thanks again.

Hi Peg and so glad to hear from you. So sorry about all your problems.   I will 
keep and eye out for B6.  I have a bad side pain under my right rib and tests 
don't show anything.  
They are also adding potassium to everything and I have to watch because my 
potassium has a tendency to go high.  
I pray everything gets better for you.  Fight in sweet warrior!!!

Hi Beth and thanks for asking. 
The side pain is ongoing and they can't find out what is causing it.  I had a 
chest X-ray but it revealed all is good.  I feel it's to do with gallbladder 
surgery I had years ago.  Back is on the mend so I'm fighting on.  Blessing and 
love

Hi Richard.   So glad to hear you are well.  Warm in fl but we had a few cold

Hi Norm and so happy to hear from you. I miss our Tasigna group.  
I lost my remission last year and am now on Ponatinib.  It has my blood doing 
good with few side effect.   
That foot problem can hurt!!! 
Rub a lot of castor oil on it and soak in Epsom salts.  
I had the heel probably a few years ago and it lasted for 2 years.  Put a 
castor oil pack on at night.  
I haven't been able to cruise lately and miss it.  We are planning a Christmas 
cruise if my health holds up. 
Do you hear from our Tasigna group??
Sounds like you are doing great!!! 
I'm glad your eyes are better.  
Stay in touch and yes, I sure miss Millie

Hi all.  
My sisters legs and feet swell really bad. She takes 2 diuretics.  She has 
never been on any tkis. 
She recently chose to have leg vein ablation.  She says this has really helped. 
 Maybe you could look into it.  She had to have a heart pacer put in also. 
Good luck.

Hi Susan and all,
Good to hear your uplifting voice of hope and love.  I had my annual checkup

will get the results tomorrow.  Also they found some nodes on my lungs a few 
months ago so I will do a chest X-ray tomorrow. I have no trouble breathing so 
I don't think anything is wrong. 
Pain is still bad but I'm hoping they can find the cause soon. 
I hope every one is good tonight.

I hope every thing will be good John.  Did they treat your CML while you were 
in the hospital?  Did they increase your ponatinib to get the counts down?
Do they do PCR test on your blood?
I got a bill from Moffitt and it was over $2000. I found out it is the PCR test 
that's so expensive.  They never gave me the results from it. 
My insurance paid most of the bill.  
Blessings.

 There does not seem to an answer for the white blood cells to have

 blast phase. So I go once a week or once every two weeks to check them.

 Hi John,
 
 First let me say hello to your wife, and believe me I personally know what

 Now what I can't understand why your white blood count went over 100,000. 
 And what pill have you been taking? Usually you need to be taking more 
 then 1 pill and that should be every day. So John I am really puzzled.
 
 I wish you as well as your wife the very best, because of mainly what you

 If you have been reading any of my posts I always end them with 18's which

Hi John and I felt like something was wrong as we hadn't heard from you. I'm 
glad you are back home and cml is good.  
Have you had a pneumonia shot. I got mine many years ago and a booster when I 
was in the hospital a few years ago. 
I am still on 1 15 meg pill daily. 
You are the first person I ever met that only takes 1 pill weekly so that is 
why Marty was wondering.  
That was a long hospital stay.  Was that all for the pneumonia?
Give your wife good wishes from me and hang in there.

Hi Marty. 
Just want to explain why WBC and platelets can rise quickly with cml.  
this has happened to me 3 times and it is because the tki you are taking quit 
working and you lose your remission.   It is caused by mutations.  I am on my 
4th tki now and running out of options if this one quits working. 
Wishing every one blessings.

Hi to all and hope every one is good tonight.  Would love to hear from you 
John. 
I decided to research the word Chi as it seemed very interesting. 
In Chinese culture it means energy force and it is a foot in Chinese 
measurement.  It is also a Surname. The most interesting thing I found was that 
in Chinese mythology it means dragon.  So let us be a Chi and slay this 
leukemia with every weapon we can find.  
I believe in faith and pills but maybe some Chi can help.

 there are so many people signing off with 18's now...it is respect for 
 your unwavering strength and support! Today IS the day we stop waiting for 
 the storm to pass and learn to dance in the rain!  
 
 Fight on!

That was great Marty.  I'm a great Believer in that. I know from personal 
experience that this is true.  
When I was young I went off to play with friends. My mom decided to send my 
brother who was 2 years older than to go and walk me home. 
On the way to get me he stopped at a store to asked if they had any quick jobs 
that he could do. They told him no so he started out on the walk to get me. He 
hadn't walked very far when a speeding car came up behind him. They honked 
their horn but instead of it warning him it startled him and he jumped in front 
of the car.  He was killed instantly.  He was my best friend and I la lost a 
lot that day.  If he hadn't stopped at the store he would never have been in 
the spot that killed him.  I take comfort in knowing that I will see him in 
heaven.

Thanks Marty for the blessing.  Back at you!!! I feel so blessed that I have 
been able to make it through 11 years of this and now going into my 12th year I 
am still facing many health problems but fighting every day with faith and 
pills. 
I remember when I was hooked up to the blood cleansing machine many years ago 
that I said psalms 23 and it helped me a lot and I have read Job which will 
uplift you along with many of the psalms. 
I, like you, am waiting for a cure and hope our treatments will help people in

Yes I had the rash and boils and ect.  Then I was put in Tasigna.  It was awful 
for me.  Sprycel was the best as far as side effects. 
I just saw a show that your appendix was your immune systems fighter and if you 
didn't have one you could get leukemia and ect.  My appendix was taken out when 
I had my gall bladder removed.  Anyone else heard this!!?

Thanks Marty and thanks for all the uplifts.   
During my fight I have seen several of my gg grandchildren come into this world 
and have been on many trips with my children.
I have celebrated 11 birthdays with my children.   Is it worth it??? Yes it is. 
Kathy I am not saying it's going to be easy!! Gleevec through everything it had 
at me and I fought on.  Take your Gleevec with a large mild meal.  I liked to 
take it with my breakfast as that is a mild meal.  Try to stay away from 
spices.
Gleevec never put me in remission and after 5 years quit on me.  However, there 
are a lot of people in this list that are still on Gleevec and doing good.  We 
are all unique and so have to listen to our bodies and never give up!!! 
Good luck.

Hi Kathy
This is my 12 th year fighting cml and yes it was worth it.  I know what you 
are going through as I remember my first year in Gleevec.   We have many more 
choices now so if it gets too bad talk to your dr about changing tkis.   
Make sure you are going to a specialty cml onc as I made the mistake in the 
beginning of going to an onc that didn't know what he was doing. Stay strong 
and stay connected.

[CMLHope] rob's message long ago

2016-01-16 Thread ICANDOALLTTC via CMLHope





I wanted to let all of you in the CML group know that my father Robert Wood 
Neill has passed away. Many of you who are long term members know that the
 CML group was started many years in the days long before Gleevec when my
 mother Laquita was diagnosed with CML.

Hi Marty and good to hear from you.  We were wondering what  happened.  
I believe the founder and narrator of this group is Rob.  His  mother had 
leukemia.  Are you there Rob??? 
Most of us have been here a long time.  I believe the group was  once a 
yahoo group.  
We are all warriors and help each other when we can. 
This makes my 12 th year and I joined the group early on.  
And yes we are all leaders in our own way and pioneers with the tkis  so 
that've can give our knowledge to the new warriors.

This is directed to  Sandi and everyone else.

Dearest Sandi, and I really mean that, but for a very special reason.  It 
is not the words that I wright but it is my meaning. You and everyone  else 
here are only here because all of us are meant to be here. Am I  strong well 
maybe I am or I probably wouldn't be here right now.  

My question to you and everyone else that may be reading this are you  also 
strong. You know what? You have to be because you are battling an  awful 
disease, but my friends just like me am I still here, and are you.  You bet we 
are.

So no matter how strong I may be and no matter how strong any of you  may 
be, guess what? We are still here together and until "uncle GOD"  
determinants otherwise this is where we stay. 

How many times have I been at deaths door? Now look at what you have.  You 
have life, just as I do and do you know why it's really very simple  because 
about a bit more then a decade ago some mortal man discovered a  pill that 
changed the course of your lives. You, all of you are living  proof. 

So I am not what anyone thinks about me because your living proof  just as 
I am we are all strong in spite of what you think. 

Am I a leader of this group perhaps I am, however  what about  each and 
everyone else. Please try to understand people that are in a  group are the 
power of that group. 

OK so lately I have a little more activity in my life health wise  then 
normal (whatever that may be) 

So please lets everyone stop calling me the leader of this group  because 
we all are some a little more some a little bit less but when we  all come 
together we are a force to recon with. 

Remember 18's Have you ever noticed that I have never left it out  before? 
Who knows maybe there is a reason. 18's is life, at least in my  book.
