Hi Penny, Thank goodness that there other drugs (TKI's) that will work and if one just stops working at least you can fall forward to one of the others.
Oh yes things are really taking place for the worst and there you are just trying to make a living just to be able to get by and if you work one minute less those 30 hours your then getting kicked in you know where. But no matter what you may be going through your still alive, and you will get by. You can believe me because of that per-viable saying, "been there done that" If you read any of my posts then you know what i am talking about and I do not complain because it is counterproductive to me. Also if read any of my posts you will always notice the numbers 18 whice is the symbol for life. 18's Marty So here is something from me to you... *EXPECT THE BEST, MIND OVER MATTER. SUCCESS IS A FUNCTION OF SELF CONFIDENCE. TO HAVE SUCCESS AT ANYTHING YOU MUST FIRST LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. IF YOU EXPECT THE WORSE THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL GET (MIND OVER MATTER) IF YOU EXPECT THE BEST THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL GET.* *WHAT WE HAVE TO LEARN TO DO IS TO CHANGE OUR MENTAL HABITS, OUR STATES OF MIND. LEARN TO EXPECT AND NOT TO DOUBT. BY DOING THIS YOU BRING EVERYTHING INTO THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY. WHEN YOU LEARN TO BELIEVE THEN WHAT YOU THOUGHT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE THEN MOVES INTO THE AREA OF POSSIBILITY.* *EVERY GREAT THING EVENTUALLY BECOMES POSSIBLE FOR YOU. MY BELIEF AT THE BEGINNING OF A DOUBTFUL UNDERTAKING IS THE ONE THING THAT INSURES THE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME...* *FOCUS...* On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 8:31 PM, 'BOOGIE_WOOGIE' via CMLHope < cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Hello all.......I started on Gleevec it worked for 12 years then it > stopped so am on Sprycel > now.
