[CMLHope] Acaria health
Hello everyone I had the strangest thing happen to me in reference to my Ponatinib. Is anyone on Ponatinib ? I got a letter telling me ascaria health would be handling my drug from now on. I did t ask for this so decided to wait until biologics called to refill my prescription. Well they called and asked me if I was ready for refill. Never mentioned as aria and my medicine came As usual. I was so happy. So my question is should I notify someone of this as it seems like a fraud to me. This medicine is very expenvive. It is 17,000 $ a month. Has anyone ever have this happened? I’ve researched google with no answers. Norm I remember when you helped me run the tasigna group. I couldn’t take it. Talk later all the news. You and your wife love are so up lifting. Yes love you so very much. 💓 My Motto: Faith and Pills With Love Jeanie 🐠free Christian Dx 1/2004 CML Leukemia -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com - You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.

Hi all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. I am ending the year fighting another disease: thyroid. At least that’s what they think it is. Lost about 30 pounds: losing hair-sweating for no reason and more. I can’t take the meds as they make it worse. No matter what-fight on. -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com - You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.

Re: [CMLHope] Hi Shaun question
Thanks so much Shaun. I always knew he was suffering and he tick on our sufferings too. I miss him so much. He was helping me with my new thyroid disease while he was in rehab. Have you given some thought to having his book published? If you decide to have it published I could get my daughter to help you through amazon kindle. He gave me parts of the book and it was so uplifting. You can feel his love and care come through his pages I especially loved the part about the pair of walking shoes. He left his love on earth and I can still feel his spirit in my daily battle against leukemia and other old age problems he was helping us with. Good luck and keep in touch. Love ya!

Re: [CMLHope] Hey there
Hi Joyce How do you take care of blood clots and what do they look like? My chemo Causes blood clots and was recalled because of this and causing heart attacks and HP. I take aspirin with mine and have had HP most of my adult life. hP meds gives me heart pain so I just do the best we can. Let's all remember Millie in our prayers. She was a brave warrior. She said her pee had turned black and she had a sore on her foot wouldn't heal. Of course anyone from this list who stays in your heart and this list was your basic contact. Millie could really cook and she would give me recipes. I told her it was strange I'm from Fl and she's from PA and we still love same of same foods. She lived to cook and freeze for later.

Went to ER with gallbladder attack and they did a CAT scan and noticed that my old hiatal hernia that has been bugging me for some 20 years had twisted, and evidently that is a very bad thing, because they put me in an ambulance and sent me from our local hospital to BarnesJewish in St Louis and said I would have emergency surgery as soon as I got there. That didn’t happen but I was in the hospital for 3 days as they did test upon test. I went home for 3 days and had surgery on Monday the next week. Had gallbladder removed and hiatal hernia was repaired. I was doing very well and planned to go home on Wednesday when my oxygen levels went down. Long story short: I had blood clots in both lungs and one in my right calf. Was in hospital for 8 days and came home using belly shots of Lovenox to bridge to warfarin. Am doing better and gaining strength. Had to eat pureed food for 2 weeks. Now on soft diet. It was a trying time because I am the caregiver for my husband who has CML and is also legally blind. But we pulled through with the help of our two daughters. I’ll have to get caught up on what went on while I was out of commission.

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. In a message dated 6/1/2017 7:54:16 A.M.

Two large bolts two inches long were placed near my spinal column where the vertebra were completely cracked in half to try to mend them together. In spite of what happened to me the surgeon told me when I got up I almost died but for less then a millimeter my spinal would have been severed leaving me paralyzed from the head down. I was on the operating table and he didn't at first know what would happen to me. He had to send someone out looking for those special bolts and was able to get them from a special surgical supply. Very lucky there were only two of them left and would take a few days to get more . After he showed me CT scans of them drilled into the bones in my neck, and he had called on some of his associates because he was very proud of his work. The next time I visit him a said that he would try to get me copies. When and if I do get them I will copy and paste them to this site. Oh by the way I never bought the new car, at least not yet.

Re: [CMLHope] The wounded Soldier
Yes, they never told the truth about pesticides back then. I put nothing in my yard these days. They also did mass spraying for mosquitoes back then. They would drive by and have a big sprayer going. I never knew what was in that spray. Like you said who knows??? I hope they are making a safer world today for our kids. Love❤️ My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] The wounded Soldier
Yes Marty I've always wondered why I got leukemia. I am the youngest of 11 children and no cancer in family except lung cancer and 1 breast cancer in my older sister. I didn't even know much about leukemia when I was dx. Even with fighting cml for 12 years I have had a full rich life. I got to go to the mountains with my daughters and granddaughter. We stayed in a beautiful cabin high in the mountains. We toured the Great Smoky Mountains and they are beautiful. I am now spending a week with my daughters and we are enjoying our visit.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Gleevec resistance? Or just a spike?
Hi Raj I was in Gleevec for 5 years and then it quit working for me. My platelets and WBC shot up really high. I was put in Tasigna but it never worked for me. Then I went in sprycel and it worked for a few years and put me in remission. It quit working and again my platelets and WBC shot up. I'm on Ponatinib now and doing really good in it. Make sure not to do proton pump inhibitors while on tkis. How are your regular blood results. Good luck. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Really sick with sore throat and flu. I had my flu shots so
Hi Joyce and thanks so much. I have been so sick I can't remember the last time I had the flu. So you are right that was a bad batch of flu medicine. I know what you mean about not being able to enjoy company. I was supposed to be on my vacation and the girls had to leave without me. I am hoping to feel well enough to go on their second lag up to the mountains. My daughter rented a cabin up on a mountain. But if I don't start feeling better I won't be able to make it. This flu started with a very bad throat pain. Then went down into my chest and I am having deep chest coughing. Good luck with your company and get better. I love you.

Re: [CMLHope] Prayers are offered.
Yes Beth I miss your uplifting posts. I know we are all fighting and it gets to be hard, but sharing does help. I am doing good on Ponatinib with few side effects but the side pain I with me all the time. And yes Beth waiting to get our blood results can be scary. It always surprises me when the doctor walks in and all is good. It's like I'm waiting for the bomb to drop. I go to Moffitt every three months now. I'm still in remission. However leukemia can rear its ugly head ant time as we all know. I tend to live each day as best I can and try not to worry.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Hello all
Hi Skip and thanks so much for that update! You are truly a wonder! This is my 12th year fighting CML so I'm just a baby hehe. I also failed on all the tkis and was put on the newest: Ponatinib. It is working good with little side effects. There is only one other CML warrior on this drug: John. Can we hear from you John? I have had a bad side pain that the test don't show anything, but it is a bad pain so just have to treat it. This pain started to get bad on Tasigna. I had to have transfusions too on Tasigna and as you said, not a bad thing to go through just time consuming. I am just thankful for each day and for our CML warriors who help us through the battle so we are not alone. Have a wonderful Sunday! Jeanie<3 In a message dated 4/17/2016 6:43:38 A.M.

When I first was diag in 1977 there was not much in the line of drugs, in fact there was none except Myleran. I survived with drug for 27 years, the Hem docs said to my GP let his counts go up until over 100,000 (wbc) and then start myleran at 2mg a day until it comes down to about 50% then one mg a day until it gets down to about 30,000 then 1/2 mg until about 20,000 then stop. Let the wbc drift until until it gets back to over 100,000 then repeat all over again, we did this every year until 27 years was up then my spleen started to act up. Wheee there was a new drug would I go on the trial .. yeep Imatinib would be my new drug It was not cheap, but we went on it until after about 2 years my Hem doc it was not working, beside he wanted me to try new drug call Nilotinib, same company just stronger, so I took nilotnib until it failed after some time. but we have a new drug coming down the line called Dasatinib lets try that. That game so much plural Infusion they had to quit. went back on Nilotinib. I was in my 30th year with CML. I gues the doc thought it was a lost cause so he said will see you in six months, well by that time my WBC. RBC, Plts, Neut, and ANC all we in the critical stage, started getting blood and platelets twice week That is every Tue received platetlets IV . platelets and Fri IV Red Blood Cells. The my Ferritin started going up until now it is over 9,000 it should be 200 I get Desferol three time IV for it. My Platelets are low due to all these ddrugs over the years killing my bone marrow so I cannot product plts. Red goes down but not as fast. I see all of you with CML that have such a hard time. Yet I am just coasting through this feeling not to bad, have had some rought spots, but all in all I feel not to bad I am getting up in years now, For those of you needing infusions it is not too bad, I have a PICC Line in (see utube Purple PICC lines ) People donate blood and plts how kind as I get single donor platelets Apheresis Platelets) which take a 4 hours to give. other than cml I am healthy Next I want to thank Marty and I candoallttc asking me to talk about my journy with CML .

Re: [CMLHope] Your Mom
Hi Marty and good advice. I never realized that you took so many pills. God bless you and keep you always. Millie used to tell me how many pills she had to take at one time. She fought so hard and it was such a brave warrior and I still miss her and I know the group does too. We all have our burdens and must fight each burden as it comes. But as a group we can help each other to the end. You are a great warrior and a great blessing to all of us. Thank you so much for your uplifting.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: An update
Hi Sue Good to hear from you. Yes I think you and I were diagnosed the same year. This is my 12th year fighting leukemia. I had to change medicines three times. My last Tki is Ponatinib. This is my fourth Tki and I find it to be one of the best I have taken. I am now in remission thank you Jesus!!! We have been together in this fight for a long time. Thank you so much for being a friend in deed. Being a caregiver is going to be hard but it is also going to be very spiritual. You will find the strength you never knew you had to help your mom. My mom live to be 87 and she fought so hard to live. I loved her very much and I still miss her very much but I know we all have to make that journey into Heaven. Take care of yourself as you care for your mom and always know we are here for you. Check your mom's mad at sons to see if some of these could be causing a problem. This sometimes happens when we are taking different medicines. God bless you and make every day count for you and your family. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] To Susan Zimmerman
Hi Kate, I was on Gleevec for 5 years and it can cause every kind of rash. I had bad painful rash and boils. I found you just have to treat the side effects as best you can. I was given hydrocortizone cream and used home treatments also. One side effect can end and then another will pop up. Just be patient and try to get relief when you can. God bless you.

I am sorry for your sorrows but enjoy each moment she has left. My family had no blood disease until me. My mom had a massive stroke when she was 87 and we kept her comfortable until she passed.

Re: [CMLHope] To Susan Zimmerman
Hi and yes I use bag balm. My son bought it at a farm store. I had rashes, boils, and you name it while on Gleevec. It works really well. My doctor gave me some hydrocortizone cream. Try anything you can and see what works for you. Mile soda water solution is good also. Blessings Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/31/2016 1:19:35 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, wa2...@gmail.com writes: Hi Kate, I am sad that you have to be here, but at the same time I am also glad that your here. Sad you have CML but glad because you will be able to learn many things from everyone of us that are here. Do you know or possibly know of anyone that have used Bag Balm? Well you actually now know of someone that did.. Me. If you have any rashes or worse on your body, as long as they are not in places that come in contact with your clothing because this is very greasy and you don't want it on any of your clothing. When I had my bone marrow transplant 27 years ago I had to undergo total body radiation after my procedure was completed my body suffered from severe burns. My toes were black my ears, nose, fingers, head, hands and most other parts, even the bottoms of my feet, and that was the worst of it because I was living in a plastic 6 by 9 bubble in the hospital at the time and all of the radiation had to be finished at the time. They were not even allowed to enter this bubble because it would expose me to any types of bacteria, or mold or any types of viruses, so I had to survive living in pain until I was finally able to get out of there. They tried many different things like Kerry oil or lotion but it only worked very little to heal all of the burns. A friend of mine told me to try Bag Balm so I tried it and it finally worked! Bag Balm comes in small square green tins usually in either 1 ounce or 8 ounce sizes. They are very inexpensive usually between $6 to $8. They will last over 27 years or more providing that you don't touch it with your fingers but a Q-tip would be fine because you only need a very small amount. I have had my 8 ounce tin for over 27 years now and still use it from time to time and about one half is still left, so you may just wand the one ounce tin, but since the price between the 8 ounce and one ounce are only a couple of dollars then you make up your mind. Remember it was and still is used for the otters of cows usually in the winter time when they are chapped. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=vermont+original+bag+balm&tag=goog hydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=92441825437&hvpos=1t2&hvexid=&hvnetw=s&hvrand=80041 28417658345&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_6tq5alc55b_b_p10 On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 11:53 PM, Richard H <_rbhuffman1@gmail.com_ (mailto:rbhuffm...@gmail.com) > wrote: I only know that some CMLers have a rash but not acne.

Then there is Jeannie and they just posted this morning so their posts should appear right this morning. I would kindly ask you to update their name/s into the list it could start the ball rolling. However if anyone doesn't remember their number then it would probably make things very difficult but maybe if someone out there does have the rest of the of list then "Bingo" were in business!

Re: [CMLHope] To Susan Zimmerman
Hi Marcie I loved the wig idea. My hair was coming out in clumps on Gleevec but for some reason it grew back in. On Ponatinib my hair is coming out again. So thin and my skin feels like leather. It feels so strange to look at your brush and see all that hair in it. Wigs for me too if it doesn't stop. Thanks for the update. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Hi Marcie and happy Easter to you too. Glad your pain has stopped. Mine used to stop too but now is constant. Have you had your gallbladder out? I had mine out years ago. Yes get an MRI or ultrasound as soon as you can. I just had a chest X-ray and showed my lungs were good and nothing changed since I had my last one. Hang in there warrior.

Re: [CMLHope] Hi Everyone its been awhile
Hi Shannon and great to hear from you. So happy Gleevec is working. It quit working for me after 5 years as you probably remember. I am now on one of the new generation of drugs called Ponatinib. It is working for me for one year now. You are still a young chick. Keep fighting and taking pictures. Your son sounds wonderful. Love and happy Easter to you!!!

Re: [CMLHope] Re: CMLHope] Re: Dizzy all day
Hi Richard and thanks for the update. I didn't know they still did call ins. I feel my mom wouldn't be here if she hadn't had her pacemaker. She never had to have the battery replaced. She was overweight when she had it put in and the doctor told her to lose weight. He said it was like putting a volts wagon battery in a Cadillac. She did lose weight after being overweight all her life. Just changed her way of eating. Good luck all. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: CMLHope] Re: Dizzy all day
Hi Marty and so happy to hear you are home. I was wondering why they didn't put in a pacemaker. My mom had to have one in her 70s and her heart ran smooth until she passed away at 87. I remember she had a phone that she could test it every week. It beat at a steady 70 beats per minute. My sister 84 recently had to have one and my brother had one put in in his 70s. So keep ticking and praying for all of us. ❤️❤️❤️😇😃🎼 My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Hey, what happened to everyone?
Hi Norm and so happy to hear from you. I miss our Tasigna group. I lost my remission last year and am now on Ponatinib. It has my blood doing good with few side effect. That foot problem can hurt!!! Rub a lot of castor oil on it and soak in Epsom salts. I had the heel probably a few years ago and it lasted for 2 years. Put a castor oil pack on at night.

Re: [CMLHope] Hey, what happened to everyone?
Hi all. My sisters legs and feet swell really bad. She takes 2 diuretics. She has never been on any tkis. She recently chose to have leg vein ablation. She says this has really helped. Maybe you could look into it. She had to have a heart pacer put in also. Good luck. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Info update
Hi Susan and all, Good to hear your uplifting voice of hope and love. I had my annual checkup with my PCD today. Every thing is pretty much the same. I Had blood drawn and will get the results tomorrow. Also they found some nodes on my lungs a few months ago so I will do a chest X-ray tomorrow. I have no trouble breathing so I don't think anything is wrong. Pain is still bad but I'm hoping they can find the cause soon. I hope every one is good tonight.

I hope every thing will be good John. Did they treat your CML while you were in the hospital? Did they increase your ponatinib to get the counts down? Do they do PCR test on your blood?

Hi Marty. Just want to explain why WBC and platelets can rise quickly with cml. this has happened to me 3 times and it is because the tki you are taking quit working and you lose your remission.

Re: [CMLHope] Info update
Hi John and I felt like something was wrong as we hadn't heard from you. I'm glad you are back home and cml is good. Have you had a pneumonia shot. I got mine many years ago and a booster when I was in the hospital a few years ago. I am still on 1 15 meg pill daily. You are the first person I ever met that only takes 1 pill weekly so that is why Marty was wondering. That was a long hospital stay. Was that all for the pneumonia? Give your wife good wishes from me and hang in there. My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Chi Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Thanks!
Hi to all and hope every one is good tonight. Would love to hear from you John. I decided to research the word Chi as it seemed very interesting. In Chinese culture it means energy force and it is a foot in Chinese measurement. It is also a Surname. The most interesting thing I found was that in Chinese mythology it means dragon. So let us be a Chi and slay this leukemia with every weapon we can find. I believe in faith and pills but maybe some Chi can help. ❤️❤️❤️😇😇 My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] Am I strong? Are we all strong? Read on...
That was great Marty. I'm a great Believer in that. I know from personal experience that this is true. When I was young I went off to play with friends. My mom decided to send my brother who was 2 years older than to go and walk me home. On the way to get me he stopped at a store to asked if they had any quick jobs that he could do. They told him no so he started out on the walk to get me. He hadn't walked very far when a speeding car came up behind him. They honked their horn but instead of it warning him it startled him and he jumped in front of the car. He was killed instantly. He was my best friend and I la lost a lot that day. If he hadn't stopped at the store he would never have been in the spot that killed him. I take comfort in knowing that I will see him in heaven. ❤️💋😇🍩😀🍓🍩🍩🎼 My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Dx 1/2004.

Re: [CMLHope] blood vessels
Thanks Marty for the blessing. Back at you!!! I feel so blessed that I have been able to make it through 11 years of this and now going into my 12th year I am still facing many health problems but fighting every day with faith and pills. I remember when I was hooked up to the blood cleansing machine many years ago that I said psalms 23 and it helped me a lot and I have read Job which will uplift you along with many of the psalms. I, like you, am waiting for a cure and hope our treatments will help people in the future. So thanks for all your uplifts and keep them coming. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎼🎼🎼 My Motto: Faith and Pills❤️ With 💗Jeanie 🐟🐟18,s Dx 1/2004.

Yes I had the rash and boils and ect. Then I was put in Tasigna. It was awful for me. Sprycel was the best as far as side effects. I just saw a show that your appendix was your immune systems fighter and if you didn't have one you could get leukemia and ect. My appendix was taken out when I had my gall bladder removed.

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.

Hi Kathy This is my 12 th year fighting cml and yes it was worth it. I know what you are going through as I remember my first year in Gleevec. We have many more choices now so if it gets too bad talk to your dr about changing tkis.
