Re: [CMLHope] To Kathy
Thanks Marty and thanks for all the uplifts. During my fight I have seen several of my gg grandchildren come into this world and have been on many trips with my children. I have celebrated 11 birthdays with my children. Is it worth it??? Yes it is. Kathy I am not saying it's going to be easy!! Gleevec through everything it had at me and I fought on. Take your Gleevec with a large mild meal. I liked to take it with my breakfast as that is a mild meal. Try to stay away from spices. Gleevec never put me in remission and after 5 years quit on me. However, there are a lot of people in this list that are still on Gleevec and doing good. We are all unique and so have to listen to our bodies and never give up!!! Good luck.

Being that everyone is a leader of this group so does it go to help all of us together. You know that it's been so long that I forgot about Rob. I do hope to hear from him. I also had no idea about his mother having leukemia and I hope that she is doing well. So many new things have happened since we were members and as I remember this group was in fact a yahoo group but I just can't put my finger if it was for sure. Some time has passed and my memory has not been my greatest asset so I would really like to hear from Rob. Just think look at some of the people that were still around then (like yourself) that are still around now. Hey what ever happened to CML will be only be around for 5 years until the "Lukie Dragon" will come and get you. Do you remember that saying a very long time ago? Well that for sure has has changed with all of these advancements using these TKI's and what is coming down the pipe next. I'm telling you it will be that, no matter what you are and what you believe in there will come a time near to now that this "Dragon" will meet it's demise.

Re: [CMLHope] blood vessels
So, you never heard about a Q tip. Well they are all around you. All you need to do is to look closely at the car directly in front of you and for some strange reason with out any warning they all of a sudden stop right in the middle of the road directly behind you and look as they are having some sort a verbal conflict by themselves, that is if they don't fall asleep. Now the key to understanding them is in fact the driver is much shorter then the seat he is sitting in, so you can never actually see his head but the Q-tip white hair above his head. This is a sure sign about his safe driving because if he is stopped in the middle of the road motionless he cant crash into you, but that's not to say you can crash into him. Come on you, I am sure that you must have seen them a million times down there in southwest Fl. They are also in southeast FL. By the way they also manage to fall asleep whenever they are around and about... Scary...
