Hello Gale,
It's good to see you post again. Your website was one of the first sites I visited ( after Jennifer's CMLsupport.com) after being dxed in November 2000. Congratulations on running another 1/2 marathon. I will be involed again this year in Montreal's TNT marathon. We only started this program 2 years ago, so we are still in the "building up" stage. My big question is are you still SCUBA diving? Many of the CML experts, including Dr. Druker, and Dr. S. Nimer at Sloan have restrcited me to 1 atmosphere (33 ft - for those non divers reading). I haven't encountered any problems, but I was interested in hearing from you on the subject. Cheers, Cheryl-Anne dxed Nov/2000 IFN - PCRU until Jan 2003 Gleevec PCRU since June 2003 (and hopefully holding, will know in another month) "divergale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Friends, > > > This year, I'm privileged to have once again joined the Denton Team- > in-Training group, as both an Honored Hero and a participant. > Starting February 5th, I'll begin my training for the Mayor's > Midnight Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska on June 18, 2005.
