[CMLHope] Re: Ponatinib is chemo

['Jeanie' via CMLHope]

Yes that was empty. I don't know why it says chemo on bottle.  The instructions 
that come with it don't say chemo or targeted therapy but these come straight 
from the company that makes them. It's called Biologicsponatunib. 
No I have no dogs but I do love them.  My daughter has the most beautiful 
German shepherd.  I'll send you a picture. My daughter has given me several 
soft pet cuddles that I keep in my bed 
Have a great evening. 
Love you so very much

Well Cathy,

let me personally welcome you. I know that your fairly new to CML but don't
let that stop you. As you will notice this is* not* "death sentence"
anymore because of the many advances that have been made over the last ten
years or even more.

Let me ask you what medicine are you taking (TKI's) and how are you
tolerating them?

I am sorry that your dealing with some back pain. What were those five
surgeries that you had? And from what your telling me about it does sound
like it may be coming from your kidneys but on the other hand your also
keeping good blood counts including your Creatnine counts. Can you mention
what their now?

And your pain very well could be coming from your TKI's.
Just so you know I had a bone marrow transplant almost 27 years ago and all
of the radiation and chemotherapy killed my kidneys about 6 years ago and i
was on dialysis for four years and finally was able to get another
transplant, my kidney. But who is keeping score? I am...

So i really know what i am talking about because i went through it. Now i
am not a doctor but as i mentioned that i went through all of this.

But you know what Cathy, i'm still alive and basically have a good quality
of life, and by the way so do you. Please go see that Nephrologist  I am
sure that he or she will set you on the right track. A tip for you. If your
not diabetic then start drinking Cranberry juice it washes out your
kidneys.

If I could be of any help to you just let me know. By the way there are a
lot of knowledgeable people on here that can help

Since you are a "newbee" here i want to mention two numbers that i always
end any of my posts with.

18's,  is the symbol for life. And so it goes...

Marty

Lee, I don't take any kind of pain medication.  Yesterday  I moved a flower 
pot for my wife and pulled a muscle in my lower side of my back  and you 
know how painful that can be but it will go away in a few days. We put  some 
ben-gay on it and that helped somewhat.  
 
The things that we can't due when we get old.  Need to  think first, then 
act before we do things.  I'm flying into Chicago June  7th to see my Cancer 
Doctor, get my blood work see my son's wife and grand  kids, one of my 
friends that I used to work with at Inland Steel is going to  pick me up and 
drive me around.  Have lunch with them all and then he will  drop me off at the 
airport to fly back that night.  Flying out of RSW the  first flight and 
flying out of Chicago on the last flight.  It's going to  be a long day.  As 
the say, you got to do as you got to do.  Derek's  turned 31 on May 28th last 
year and passed away on the13th.  Not looked  forward to that date.

everyone is healthy and just taking a break! Greenie, in case you are taking  
Ibuprofen (for arthritis and pain) you should let your doctor know. He or  she 
might want you to discontinue it. It drastically lowers kidney  function. 


Have a nice weekend, all!

Hi Greenie,

I'm still  here, in fact i am always here. I think that everyone is  not
posting because of the holidays and are busy at this time of  the year.

So, how are you doing? I hope that you are  doing well. Ever since my
accident i have been trying to recover  but it is a very slow process. I
broke my neck in three places as  well as my arm and shattered my elbow.

I was in a coma  for many weeks and when I finally got up to find i had hole
in my  neck connected to a respirator with my head in a sort of globe  I
didn't know what happened to me. They told me that i had  plates, screws,
nuts and bolts in both my neck and arm. Had to go  to a nursing home and had
months of therapy.

But i  am still still recovering. I gained a lot of being myself in  these
past nine months.

I'm walking I'm talking I'm  eating again and I am off of Dialysis and got a
kidney transplant  and a prostate operation almost two and a half years ago
and  being able to pee is very good. And the best part is that I can  still
drive my wife at night. Even went on a cruise on March  26th, and our 
41st
anniversary was on March 28th while we were on  the cruise.

The way I look at things no matter what you  go through,

Hi everyone,
I haven't had a stroke but the chemo I'm on now, Ponatinib, will cause  
stroke, blood clots, heart attacks, and you name it is a side effect of this  
chemo, however, after being in blast I went into remission within just 3 
months  on this chemo; Praise God from whom all blessings flo.
 
My girls and grandson took me out for a fantastic lunch yest. and what a  
memory maker that is.
 
My mother had a stroke when she was about 78 and the only thing she could  
remember was how to sign her name.  She had to learn how to speak and write  
again; went to classes and soon was almost back to normal.  Strokes run in  
our family; my grandmother and mother plus my sister all having them at 
about  age 78.  My sister didn't make it through hers but my grandmother and  
mother did.
 
Could you tell us how you felt when you were having your stroke?  Did  you 
take aspirin?
 
I found out I had leukemia in 2009 after being so tired after my usual  
walks.  Had blood test and immediately put in hospital for blood cleansing  and 
then put on Gleevec.  It was a rough road on Gleevec and then the  mutants 
took over---more later.
Enjoy the day and keep on fighting warrior.

Hi Richard,

I have seen a lot in my life so i try to remember it all. Some really bad
and some just plain bad then some of these things i have locked in my mind
are really good. But I am sure so have you and most everyone on here.

Always never forget as long as we are alive there are many memories locked
in our minds, and what better way to talk or read about them. Learning is a
human process and every single day that you either learn or talk about
something new then your still here.

I retired when i was only 45 years old because i had CML and had to go
through a bone marrow transplant. I retired from my job that i absolutely
loved. I am and Electrical Engineer and am a very meticulous person. I try
to learn anything that i can and this was a redeeming factor in my life.

About four years ago i had a stroke and i actually was not able to speak,
read or understand any English. How frustrating it was for me, but i was
actually able to speak four other languages that my parents thought me in
my childhood. I laid there in a hospital trying to get people to understand
me.

Finally after two days i was able to hook up with a nurse that shared two
languages that was able to understand me. My life changed and i made it my
obligation to relearn English again. I taught myself to do it and even work
my computer again., and i still am active in consulting some company's that
i did business with designing microchips and other circuitry because i keep
my mind active. If you were to look at me now you would never know, but i
never forgot what i went through, however, i don't dwell on it, got other
things to do in my life.

That's what i am talking about because life is a learning or in my case a
relearning process, and i was able to do it because i had the will to do
it.

So that's my story. Hey why don't some of you also get in here and try to
relate some of your story's?
