I loved her and feel great about her intentions to help. The decision was made to send me to another hematologist there at Northwestern who is a specialist in bleeding disorders to see what the problem might be. Six years has gone by since the Florida docs tried to find a cause and could not. So....we pray the new doc will find some actual cause besides cavernous malformations. Those of you who missed it, I am trying to go back on a drug for CML after being off six years. I chose to stay off due to brain bleeds and a serious stroke I had 3 years ago. So at this point I am waiting for them to call and schedule the upcoming appt. She prefers tasigna but may end up using bosutinib after discussing with Dr. Pinilla and getting to the bottom of the bleeding problem. Thumbs up for all!!! I am praying for all of you and thank you so much for the encouragement to get something done. She is not concerned with me not taking medicine for the time being. Love and 18's, Susan -----Original Message----- From: Myvety2k <myvet...@aol.com> To: cmlhope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thu, Aug 1, 2013 3:40 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Doctors Visit Thanks everyone for your replies on the eye problem. greenie In a message dated 7/31/2013 9:33:39 P.M.

I'm doing okay and trying to handle everything, but a week ago I did have an anxiety attack and it scared me, but when I told the doctor about it, she said that it was bound to happen as I keep to much in side and needed to release it, so I did. Wow, never had one before and hope not to have it happen again. I had lots of company today, and that's always good for me. I do enjoy having people around me. My doctor is trying to get me back on Home Care once again as my feet are so swollen...as are my legs and I need to have someone taking care of this and other problems. Our home care is excellent, but don't know if I will qualify right now. Social Security pays for that one, and they have set times you're allowed to be on it. You take care and it was so good seeing you on here. 18's to you, Millie -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
