Hi Susan, I want all of us to be able to enjoy this Holiday Season. I could fret and worry about things to come, but choose not to. I will have more blood work done soon, and then I'll have some answers. I'm still on 1/2 dose of the Tasigna, due to the liver disease and he is keeping me there if the numbers stay okay. I don't really follow my numbers or understand them. I guess it's easier for me to leave it up to my wonderful CML Doctor. He's been with me for 20 years and I know he does everything in his power to keep me on his long term list. I've had the CML for 15 of those years and have been on almost everything. They all have their side effects, but I've been fortunate to be able to tolerate most of them. I try to live one day at a time, and that works for me most of the time. I have my down days as I'm only human, but try not to get down any more then necessary. Usually it's over something stupid anyway. :>) Have a wonderful Holiday Season with friends and family. We've had some snow, but I need to go shopping and I also have some laser surgery to have done on the 23rd, so I hope the snow will not ruin that for me.
Many hugs, blessings, and love from your CML friend, Millie ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Zimmerman To: cmlhope@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 12:12 AM Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Holidays Dear blood brothers and sisters, Thank you for your wonderful posts that I always read and reflect on. May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white. May the Reason for the season be part of your daily life, and your lives be a wonderful testament of His love. Happy Hannukah to all our Jewish friends as well. So many of you have shared your hearts and been so uplifting to others. This group is wonderful and ripe with seasoned warriors. Thanks Millie for always lifting up everyone in their own particular trials. Marty is always there for those who need it, too. I read many and write little. But know that I'm praying for you all as we fight the fight together. We are victors, not victims! I still continue to go on without medication due to having problems with each one I've tried. I have one more to try, and that is bosutinib. I will get tested again after the holidays to see my numbers and do research on all the good and bad about bosutinib before going on it. Anyone on bosutinib? If so, please comment about the good, bad and ugly regarding it....thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Susan and Roy Zimmerman -----Original Message----- From: John Barrons <jl...@rogers.com> To: CML Hope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> Sent: Mon, Dec 16, 2013 10:53 pm Subject: [CMLHope] Holidays I don't email very often, but I read all the emails that come to me. I have had CML now for 14 years and have gone through gleevec, sprycel, omacetaxine, and now I am on ponatinib. It is doing good job. I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a new year that is full of hope, and another drug that will keep us going.
