Re: [CMLHope] posting my blood panel results today
Hi Jeanie, your test results have me beat by a mile and I started Gleevec on Jan. 9th 2000 at 300 mg. each day. Here are some of my results. WBC 5.9 RBC 3.71 L Hemoglobin 12.5 L Hematocrit 37.3 L MCV 33.7 MCHC 33.5 Platelets 176 RDW 13.5 Absolute Neutrophils 3.4 Absolute Lymphocytes 1.8 Glucose 95 Blood Urea Nitrogen 18 Calcium 8.7 Protein Total 6.9 Albumin 4.2 ALT 31 AST 39 H this the 3rd time that it's been this high in over 13 years. It was 51 a few months ago but the Doctor told me not to worry about it. Sodium 140 Chloride 105 Potassium 3.9 Creatinine 1.44 H it's been between 1.1 to 1.4 going back to 1997 before I found out I had CML. I found out that I had CML two weeks before Christmas 1998. I would like to get my RBC higher but my Doctor keeps telling me to just leave it be. Like they say if it's not broken don't try to fix it. They was a time that when I first started taking Gleevec my WBC dropped to 2.6 and told me not to worry. Dam it's hard not to worry when things like this happen. They see these results on other people but we don't so it's hard to compare what is good and what's back. Anyway your tests look good so keep what ever your doing and don't change anything.

Re: [CMLHope] posting my blood panel results today
Hi Jeannie,
All I can say is WOW!!! You sure that you have Leukemia? With counts like
that it sure doesn't show.
Don't worry about your sugar counts just try and eat more sensibly, and
that includes your Cholesterol
As Far as your Creatinine, it is fine don't worry about it. Your doing
remarkably Great!
I now present you with the "{{Robes of The Survivor}}" Wear them proudly.
I also now share my Number 1 rating in The Zavie's Zero Club with you. Do
you know what that is? If not then just let me know and I will explain it
to you.
By the way, you have proven exactly what the menaing of 18's really are.
18's,
Marty

Re: [CMLHope] Re: posting my blood panel results today
HI Suzieq, I went to Chicago on May 1st to see my Doctor, get my blood work and pickup my med's. My son and is wife and my 7 month old grandson picked me up at Midway. Doctor told me that I need not come back for (1) year only to pickup same. She said if I want to I could see a cancer Doctor here in Fort Myers once a year that way I would be getting my month work every 6 months instead of every 3 months. It's up to me. So that's good news and they put me into another study with 2 other people plus some in other countries. Good to here your doing O. K. Greenie In a message dated 5/14/2013 4:43:53 P.M.

[CMLHope] Re: Arthritis ?
Jim: I had this discussion with my Chiropractor not to long ago, even carried him the drug information that Novartis sent to me about all the side effects. The reason for me showing this to him, he has treated me for some time now saying that I had arthritis that has set up really bad in both Sacroiliac Joints and now I have it in a joint right behind the second toe on the left foot, and am beginning to think it's beginning to set up some in the right hand. We think that the Gleevec helped to "expedite" the arthritis along. I will turn 60 in September, so I expected to suffer later on in life, not this early. There have been times I can't even stand up straight. I have an appointment on June 3rd with an orthopedic surgeon to get his opinion about my lower back problems. I suffer a lot from sciatica going down the back of both legs at times, and lately I've been getting around with a cane. I discussed the "arthritis" problem at my last doctor visit at the cancer center. She said that they have had some patients who have had to go through chemotherapy and noticed that their arthritis lessened while on Chemo, but as soon as they finished with the drugs, the arthritis pain came right back. I think I even asked about "Celebrex", but seems doctors are hesitant about prescribing that. Right now, my regiment is 325/5 Hydrocodone along with Advil Liquid Gels. I hate taking drugs, but the stabbing pains at night into my hip almost makes me cry, so go ahead and take it for the relief.

Thanks Marty, My son asks me that all the time. I have had some awful
battles but they seem to be behind me now, however I know from experience that
CML can rear it's ugly head when you least expect it.
I will wear the robes of the Survivor and will share in Zavie's club, yes
I knew Zavie and we lost a great warrior.

Re: [CMLHope] posting my blood panel results today
Hi Jeanie, I was born in Chicago Southshore Hosp. my family moved to Hobart, IN. 2 years later and I lived in the area most of my life except 4 years in Springfield, MO. Moved back to Porter, IN. two miles from Lake Michigan but the winter was hard on me so we moved again to South Fort Myers, FL. a little over 2 years ago. My much, much, older brother lives in Naples, FL. I miss my son and his family but I just can't take the cold weather. I was in a study at Northwestern back in 2000 with 200 people nation way before Gleevec was approved by the FDA. Their was 8 of us I was the only one from Indiana and the others were from the Chicago area. So I was a very lucky person to get picked back then. Gleevec was called STI571 back then, It saved my life. You take care of yourself, Greenie In a message dated 5/14/2013 6:37:06 P.M.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Arthritis ?
Hi Suzieq, just something to think about... When I was first diagnoised they started me on Hydroxy Urea and Allopurnial. It wasn't the hydroxy that I questioned because I knew why they were giving it to me. It was the Allopurnial. That is used for controlling the gout. I was told that having CML that was newly diagnoised could also cause some very painful gout attacks. I have been on Allopurnial ever since and no more gout attacks. Gout is a form of arthritis Maybe part of your problem could be gout??? Why not ask your doctor if this could be part of the cause. It never hurts to ask questions. 18's, Marty On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 4:58 PM, Suzieq wrote: > Jim: I had this discussion with my Chiropractor not to long ago, even > carried him the drug information that Novartis sent to me about all the > side effects.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Arthritis ?
SuzieQ, Marty is right on target. I don't know how I read your post without thinking of gout. The explanation I've been given is that as the medications kill off leukemia cells the dead cells release uric acid into the bloodstream. Since it's in higher levels than the liver is equipped to eliminate the excess remains and can crystallize. The crystals can then accumulate in a joint (the big toe is the most common for some reason) causing what we call gout.Unfortunately for me I had an allergic reaction to allopurinol but luckily never had any problem with gout even without it.

There have been times I can't even stand up straight. I have an appointment on June 3rd with an orthopedic surgeon to get his opinion about my lower back problems. I suffer a lot from sciatica going down the back of both legs at times, and lately I've been getting around with a cane. I discussed the "arthritis" problem at my last doctor visit at the cancer center. She said that they have had some patients who have had to go through chemotherapy and noticed that their arthritis lessened while on Chemo, but as soon as they finished with the drugs, the arthritis pain came right back. I think I even asked about "Celebrex", but seems doctors are hesitant about prescribing that. Right now, my regiment is 325/5 Hydrocodone along with Advil Liquid Gels. I hate taking drugs, but the stabbing pains at night into my hip almost makes me cry, so go ahead and take it for the relief.
