Re: [CMLHope] Fun thing to do

2017-02-06 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
I was a smoker. How many of us were smokers?
One day at a supermarket I was in the direct line of fire when an old lady on a 
scooter hit a display of Javex. It splashed all over me.completely ruined 
my clothes...and I had to drive home on that VERY HOT summer day(two hr drive) 
in clothing soaked with Javex. Apparently it absorbs through the skin. I felt 
very ill the next day.   I have always wondered..
I was cleaning calcium deposits off of seashells using CLR. It worked very 
well. I did not wear gloves. I have always wondered.

Skip, I was really moved reading your story.
I am Canadian and didn't know til now that you are from NS. Your story has made 
me ever more grateful and appreciative for my good fortune. I started Gleevec 
in January 2001 and was in remission by July of that year. I am now almost 
finished my 2nd year of treatment free remission.  You sound like a brave and 
wise man.God bless you and keep you.Angie in Brantford, Canada.

Sorry to hear this, Marty. You sure have a heavy load to carry. I broke a 
vertebra in August and I agree...the therapist is sometimes a bit rough on me. 
It's supposed to make you feel better, right? I think she is doing her best for 
me. Maybe a little less enthusiasm is needed sometimes.Sending you all sorts of 
best wishes that you will gradually get better and better in your mobility. 
Leave the jitterbugging for the time being. Take care18'sAngie

Hi Angie,
I am still not feeling well because one of the physical therapists was a bit to 
aggressive and that was a few weeks ago. From then on I have been suffering 
from swelling and pain so I told him that he is not what I need. I just went to 
a wonderful physical therapist and I had my first meeting with her. I less then 
one hour she was able to get some swelling down, so that is a plus.
I'm not able to jitterbug but I have no desire to do that. What I would want is 
to be able to wash my face with both of my hands or feed myself without being 
able to lift the spoon or fork to get them into my mouth, but I can although it 
hurts. Since I am left handed I usually feel more comfortable using my left 
hand and arm.
My neck is getting better but I still have a very long time to go and my range 
of motion has declined and probably will not get any better.
Now I am getting over with some basil skin cancer. The dermatologist did the 
Moes surgery in his office. The stitches will come out on this Thursday 
morning. You have to understand that I received total body radiation and have 
been on immune suppressive drugs so that is why my kidneys failed and I 
received a kidney transplant as well as a cataract operation. All of these can 
cause skin cancers and anywhere on the head or face they require moes surgery. 
I have a friend living in this community who had a kidney transplant and in the 
past sixteen years he had many moes procedures.
This may be graphic but is what it looks like. At least they can usually get 
these things out.   
But you already know me and I usually don't like to complain.   
18's,
Marty

It's been so tough on each CMLer as we age or our family members are diagnosed 
with other types of cancers. 
 Nick's got a Zauve's O Club number, but it's been a while since we've posted 
it.  Does anyone have a list? 
 Wondered if any other persons with CML on Gleevec are experiencing multiple 
muscle cramps? Or have large muscle wasting? Thanks, Elizabeth Woods Nick's

There is a saying in the Aramaic Hebrew language Alivay Meaning Thank you
GOD for what you have done for me.
 
Also I am not looking to dance on any tabletops because both of us would
probably fall off and break something. Lets just both of us dance on the
floor together.
 
Oh Angie don't worry we will get there.

Like I just said, Jeanie your heart and mind are very powerful tools so please 
keep up to whatever you doing Try not to think about some of the negative 
things in your life but rather some of the positive things in your life.
Hum, I see that you have been sporting among some other things at the end of 
your posts the numbers 18's It is telling you something, isn't it?
Do not worry, anything that you may go through in your life you will be able to 
handle, just think about that.
I already have when I got CML and had to go to my oncologist every week, and 
sometimes twice a week for blood tests. After the test was completed I was told 
to go back to the waiting room and would look at some of the people there and 
would break into a sweat just waiting there and would wonder what those other 
people were also feeling. Sometimes I had to wait for about a half an hour just 
sitting there and wait to hear the results and by the time I was called in to 
his office the back of my shirt was soaked with my sweat. I will never forgot 
that, and I am also sure that most of you if not all of you must also remember 
things like that. 
Well I was then confronted with the fact that this kind of behavior wasn't 
doing my any good because of all of the stress that I was going through, so I 
decided at that time no more anxiety that would put me in that position and I 
finally decided to look on the brighter side of my life, and I did.
Now, I am just a mortal human being, nothing more and nothing less with 
feelings just as some of yours are as well, and I then decided that whatever 
would happen I would no longer look at most of those bad things anymore but 
just to go on, and so I did and still do.
There were several exceptions that made me not as I would like to have been. 
When my father died followed by two years later then my mother then my sister 
eight years later who by the way was my bone marrow donor, then a few years 
later later my brother died then that put me in a depression that was just not 
me but I was also able to deal with it and after a period of grieving for each 
one of them. I was able to finally come back to myself, and that also made me 
into a much stronger person.
These are some of my personal details that I usually don't discus with any 
other people but I felt in necessary to post it here because I want you to 
learn from me what went on with me at the time that I had CML.
Also if you want, how many of you had this same thing happen to you concerning 
the waiting for the results of your blood tests?    And I also know for sure 
that you Jeanie have some of the same feelings that I had because your worried 
about the outcome of your last blood tests.
Please Jeanie and everyone else that may be reading this you just have to 
remember what I just wrote and learn that we all are the same and these 
feelings are just human reactions or emotions as a better word may describe, 
but when they continue to eat at you all that you need to do is to simply 
change your attitude as I once did.
I prefer to live my life as best as I can, no matter what I go through because 
I never forget that there may be some bumps in the road but there also some 
very good times going along that road as well. How about you?
18's,
Marty

Johns HopkinsUpdate AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY 
TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER,JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY 
STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY . Cancer Update from Johns 
Hopkins : 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do 
not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. 
When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their 
bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer 
cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur 
between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 3. When the person's 
immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from 
multiplying and forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the 
person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to 
environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple 
nutritional deficiencies,changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 
times/day and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.  
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites. An effective way 
to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods 
it needs to multiply. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON:  a. Sugar substitutes like 
NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A 
better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very 
small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. 
Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. c. Cancer cells thrive in an 
acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a 
little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, 
growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with 
cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, 
nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 
20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide 
live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 
15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live 
enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most 
vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a 
day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees 
C)..Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive 
spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and 
bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.
 Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life. 
Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and 
deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen 
therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. 1. No plastic 
containers in micro. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in 
microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its news letters. This 
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. 
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer.Dioxins are highly 
poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with 
water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward 
Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to 
explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for 
us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using 
plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said 
that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the 
food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using 
glass, such as Corning Ware,
Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only 
without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, 
etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper 
isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use 
tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the 
fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin 
problem is one of the reasons. Please share this with your whole email 
list.  Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just 
as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked

Hi, Marcie.I was sick last year for 5 months, in hospital 3 times...with 
anemia, low platelets, and finally broken ribs from passing out.I was having a 
bird this year about my hair loss. Unreal! It started growing in again after 
Christmas, after I had already bought a wig. I suspect that it was low iron and 
lots of unusual drugs that made me lose my hair. It's fine now. Lupus also can 
affect hair, but so far so good. When I gave my brother a kidney in 1979, in 
the months following the transplant, my hair was coming out at an alarming 
rate. I guess after all the drugs got out of my system it eventually all grew 
back.It was terrifying for me to be losing my hair.That which does not kill us 
only makes us stronger...Angie

Angie, what a time you have had!  It must be a pleasure to be off the Gleevec. 
My platelets and counts were good. The red cells and everything related to them 
were off. Looks like I have perhaps developed severe iron deficient anemia. 
I'll be having more labs and tests to try and figure it out. I'm thrilled to be 
home and I'm from much better. 
Seven years of Gleevec destroyed my hair. So wigs for me and I love it. Never

Hi. Marcie.Did your platelets also bottom out with your red cells?A year ago 
April I lost almost every single platelet, and also needed 6 blood transfusions 
in a week. The specialists had blamed it on my lupus. I recovered and strangely 
lost a LOT of hairbut I have been very well since then. My hair is growing 
back.Have been in remission from CML since July 2001. I have been off Gleevec 
for 10 months now. So far so good.With a tag-team like leukemia and lupus, one 
never knows what to expect next.Anyway, Life is good. No complaints.Angie in 
Canada

Susan, as always, I have you and Roy in my prayers. Please let us know how your 
test turns out. 
I just got out of hospital because my red cells bottomed out and I became very 
sick. So some transfusions and several days later, just came home. I will be 
undergoing more tests, might have gallbladder problem which arose after I was 
discharged, naturally!  Ultrasound tomorrow. Never dull but always interesting!

don't use it anymore and they are now 6 mo. old. I don't know if they expire or 
not, but it would be a sorry shame to let them go to waste.Email me privately

I remember dear Zavie! We were going to Ottawa once and I asked him if he would 
join us for lunch. He was a guide at the art gallery in Ottawa and took us 
through. He was  such a nice fellow. He was the first one I contacted when I 
went into remission. I am not sure, but I think I was #68 or 69 in the Zero

Well, I was looking through some of my things and ran across my Zavie Zero hat. 
He and Ida his wife actually came to my home in Florida and they presented me 
with the very first hat #1

I surely do miss my friends Zavie, Ida and as I would call her, Mommy Lottie 
and her husband Jimmy. Probably some of the new commers may not remember them 
but they were the backbones of the CML sites.

Thanks, Marty. I am monitored by  various doctors. No one ever mentioned 
Purines to me. No, no gout, thank goodness.Angie

 Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Re: Hey, what happened to everyone?
   
Hi Angie,
Just dropping by to say hello and try to answer your questions.
Gleevec can cause kidney failure but you also must remember so can a lot of 
things. In my case it was all of the Chemotherapy as well as the total body 
Radiation, and it took more then 20 years to say kaput to my kidneys. It starts 
off very slowly and in my case about 20 years, but everyone is different. 
Some tips: Keep yourself hydrated. I usually drink Cranberry juice but if your 
diabetic then try drinking it in moderation. Keep your blood glucose always in 
check. especially if you are diabetic. Try to stay away from what is called 
purines. Things like mushrooms, wine, beer, red meat, green leafy vegetables 
etc. You should look it up on the web to see. However you can still eat or 
drink them in moderation but defiantly no beer or mushrooms because they are 
very high in Purines. 
I know that your feet swell up every once in a while but if you ever got the 
gout then you really have to watch what you eat or drink, and you don't 
necessarily have to have burning unless you have a urinary infection.
Actually I no longer have this problem. I don't know if you are aware that I 
had a kidney transplant one year and a few days ago.
Since you say that you have kidney disease, you should always monitor your 
Creatnine levels. The normal levels should be from around one give or take a 
little. Now that is in a healthy person who has two good functioning kidneys. 
My latest level was 0.8 and that is only for one kidney.
I am now 71 years old and was blessed with a 20 year old young man's kidney 
(just one is all that is required) Now I would like to teach you and everyone 
else something about organ and blood types. 
I was born with type 0+ blood. My bone marrow donor was B+ in a solid organ 
donation (heart, lung, liver etc. the blood type must match between the donor 
and the recipient, however in a bone marrow transplant is doesn't necessarily 
have to but the recipient may die through this procedure. For instance I was 
given 92 blood transfusions as well as many platelets infusions and many human 
blood products.  And in my case it did work but I almost died in the process. 
But Angie almost doesn't count because I am still here and by the way so are 
you.
Now I did mention that I had a kidney transplant just over one year ago, and 
guess what the donor was in fact B+ So what does this exactly mean? Well if My 
donor was not B+ then I would have waited, who knows? I am now called a Chimera 
meaning that in my life time I had two different blood types, and now only one.
So the cause was indeed found and "Cured" but I have to now deal with a lot of 
other things, and I think that you already know me and I just don't give up.

Hi Everyone. 

Sorry to have been so quite but I've been dealing with a lot of crazy health 
issues. I've been on Gleevec for 13 years and have had every side effect it can 
throw at me and have dealt with it. At the beginning of 2015 I began having 
some edema in my legs and I told my GP about and he said it was my Gleevec. I 
said okay I talk to my oncologist. I had had swelling before with the Gleevec 
but never in my legs and never like this. SO off to the oncologist and he said 
I should talk to my kidney doctor as I have Stage 3 kidney  disease. Off to the 
kidney doctor I went and he said it was the Gleevec. I said I didn't think it 
was and told him about all the side effects I had in the past. Well, that was 
the end of all the conversations. I would see the doctors and every time they 
would tell me how swollen my legs and feet were but each would point to the 
other and then to the Gleevec.

called my oncologist and told him was said. We agreed that I would stop the 
Gleevec for 2 weeks and if the swelling did not improve I would go back on it. 

After 2 weeks the swelling did not improve I actually got worse and the 
oncologist would not put me back on the Gleevec as he believed that it was now 
the the medication masking something that was causing the issue. He sent me to 
Northwestern to see Dr. Altman. 

After meeting with her and having a tremendous amount of blood drawn and making 
appointments with other specialists at Northwestern including a cardiac 
oncologist, I feel that I am on the road to getting this problem with my legs 
resolved. I am waiting to hear from Dr. Altman to find out what my BCR-ABL was 
as well as my WBC, as my white count was climbing since I've been off the 
Gleevec. I've seen so many doctors, I feel like I've met every doctor in the 
state of Illinois. That is way to many. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to start 
my Gleevec today. As for the pain and swelling in my legs, I'll just live with 
it until we find out what the heck it is and how to treat it. As of today, I 
have been off Gleevec for 2 months and the pain and swelling has not changed. 
The pain in my legs is like an electric shock and they feel like they are on 
fire. And I do mean fire. Like someone has poured gasoline on them and lit a 
match and tossed it on my legs. It's awful. That I know of Gleevec does not 
have those side effects, and Dr. Altman did think so either.

Has anyone here that has taken Gleevec had any side effects like that? 

I hope everyone has a good week and stays well. 

Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things 
you thought couldn't.

 Dear all,Just a note to say I'm in my local hospital. It did turn out to be a 
small stroke which started last Sat. In morning I will learn if 2nd cat svan 
showed the bleeding stopped. Prayers are appreciated. I am agitated w myself 
for agreeing to up the bosulif when my numbers increased just a little. If I 
had followed the doc's suggestion of an even higher dose I would be dead now. 
After 10 days on 200 mg of bosulif, here comes another stroke! Regular dose is 
500 mg. I'm just weird. So now off all bosulif. Pray my numbers stay down for 
several months...dont need another one! God is in charge...Jeannie, without 
pills this time lol. You all mean so much to me. I'm feeling fine now. God 
bless and stay safe on new year's eve! Thanks for yr. prayers.18's and love, Sz

 This is from Mr. 
Noles, the husband of Nadia Noles, a member ofCMLHope.    Nadia passed away 
yesterday, at 2:45 PM.  Seven days ago she wasworking in her garden, and today 
she is gone.  She had CML for seven years, and Gleevec was the wonderdrug that 
kept her alive.  All the other drugs, such as Sprycel, caused her terrible 
side-effects, butshe tolerated Gleevec.  However, seven days ago  she became 
weak and disoriented, and  I took her to her PC physician,and she immediately 
admitted her;  but within the hour, after checking her white cells, which 
stoodat 116,000, she was that evening transported to The Cancer Care Unit in 
Moffitt Cancer Center.  She was thendiagnosed by her oncologist with now having 
 Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and we were both told she was terminalwith only a few 
weeks to live.  We both wanted her  to die at home, but it was suggested that 
she firststabilize in Hospice for two days.  However, when  she arrived  at 
Hospice she was already in a semi-coma state,and then died the following 
afternoon.  Her passing  was relatively painless.    Thank you all for the 
support you gave her in the past years.  Ican tell you that she often talked 
about how much your support meant to her.  Now life is for the living… sokeep 
the faith while you go through your own struggles.    Jim Noles --

Re: [CMLHope] Stopping Gleevec and BMB X4 !

2015-06-17 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
Thanks, Marty. I am having no great emotional upheaval over quitting Gleevec. 
Whatever will be, will be, and everything is a learning experience. It just 
feels strange after 14+ years.
In other news, Monday a new platelet dr. decided to do a BMB. You won't believe 
this: It took him FOUR tries to get a viable sample. Never had this happen 
before. Four crunching entries. Sort of like having four BMB's at the same 
time. Afterwards I was almost in a state of shock and could not stand, 
nauseous, very stressed. (In Canada we do not get sedation or morphine for this 
procedure.) It took me 90 minutes to de-stress and had to drive myself home 
because he had not warned me that he intended to do this and to bring a driver 
along. There's one doctor who will NOT be doing another BMB on me!! I think he 
needs a few more lessons in how to do it.
Anyway, I am finestill low platelets. Life goes on.Angie

Hi Angie,
You are not thee only one that has stopped your TKI and felt that way. 
sometimes something that we take as far as any TKI's ends up being a crutch for 
us and we always seem to worry if this or that will come back to haunt us. It 
is a normal human response and we worry about it.
Angie, since your really feeling better without the Gleevec then you should 
learn to live your life in the best way that you can.
I have seen this many times before. A man that both Zavie and I knew was on 
Alpha Interferon and suffered immensely from it's horrible side effects. He 
suffered for many years and when he was finally PCRU everyone told him to stop 
using it anymore but he still continued still suffering because it had become a 
crutch for him. He had the same feelings as you now have and after a lot of 
coaching from everyone he finally stopped it. 
He has been off of it for many years and no reoccurrence of CML ever came back 
to him. His system finally "burned out" his CML.
Remember that everything in life has a double edged soared. If you do something 
will it come back to haunt you or if you don't do something will it come back 
to haunt you??
I just can't live my life that way, and if something does come back then I will 
deal with it.Remember me telling everyone that Leukemia is both a disease of 
not only the body but it also poisons the mind.
Angie, why not start writing a diary and put everything in there that you have 
gone through the day? I do it and it lets me reflect about what I could have 
done better or worse during the day. I call it my frustrations and how to deal 
with them, and it really works for me as I am sure it will also work for you or 
anyone else. By the way I see that Giora sent you his response. read it if you 
haven't as yet.
Here is something called "expect the best" Please read it and it will also help 
you with yourself.
One last thing. I am not a doctor but have gone through a lot of things in my 
life health wise as you already know. Have you ever wondered why I am still 
alive? I did at one time but maybe it is because I try helping others as a 
promise that I once made to GOD and also received help myself from others. It 
is a two way street, or I am the luckiest son of a bitch on this planet ???18's,
Marty 
   EXPECT THE BEST, MINDOVER MATTER. SUCCESS IS A FUNCTION OF SELF CONFIDENCE. 
TO HAVE SUCCESS ATANYTHING YOU MUST FIRST LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. IF YOU 
EXPECT THE WORSETHEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL GET (MIND OVER MATTER) IF 
YOU EXPECT THEBEST THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL GET.WHAT WE HAVE TO LEARNTO DO IS 
TO CHANGE OUR MENTAL HABITS, OUR STATES OF MIND. LEARN TO EXPECT ANDNOT 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 MOVESINTO THE 
AREA OF POSSIBILITY.EVERY GREAT THINGEVENTUALLY BECOMES POSSIBLE FOR YOU. MY 
BELIEF AT THE BEGINNING OF A DOUBTFULUNDERTAKING IS THE ONE THING THAT INSURES

started Glivec on 14.2.2001 and was on 400 mg till 10.6.2014 when I agreed to 
my Dr's advise to stop. I am now 1 year without treatment doing very well, 
monthly PCR are all in deep MR4.5 response.I fully understand your concern, I 
had the same issues and didn’t agree to stop for couple of years. When I saw 
the data indicating that all the patients who stop and relapse (about 50-60 %) 
respond well when they restart treatment, I agreed to stop. I also didn’t have 
severe side effects on Glivec, but I am happy to be drug free and do very 
strict monthly or 6 weeks monitoring. Please remember if you decide to stop- 
the most important thing is a very strict monthly PCR on international scale. 
(IS)Good luck whatever you decideGiora

Re: [CMLHope] Cml and Shingles vaccine

My doctor did not recommend the vaccination to me. I woke up one morning last 
year with blisters on my shoulder. Recognizing what it was, I was at the 
hospital within half an hour and received immediate medication. The patch of 
shingles stayed at about 2" by 3", and healed quickly.  The real problems start 
when people think it is a rash that will go away and leave it untreated for a 
week or two. Recognize it and get help immediately.Angie in Canada

  Hi Susan and everyone else.   
  Well another hospital stay but I just got home yesterday. This time it was 
phenomena so I was started on an iv antibiotic which I will have with me for 
about two more weeks. Anyway it was my goal to celebrate my wife's birthday 
which was on May 20th and mine is actually today and also my second birthday of 
my bone marrow transplant back in May 21st 1989.
  So I just put my golden attitude hat on (Zavie Millers zero club number one 
is what he personally assigned to me in my home a very long time ago.   
  So what happened? I got my AZZ right out of bed with my IV pole and got out 
of my room and started walking. I walked three times a day up  and down the 
hallways of my ward. Once I got back to my room I rested then grabbed onto the 
sinks counter top and did some modified push up's. I kept on using that plastic 
breathing machine to suck air into my lungs so that I was able to cough up 
whatever was in my lungs I was finally able to make the float reach 3,500 and 
do it for ten consecutive times in a row.   
  One of my doctors was standing right there and he said that he couldn't even 
do that himself.  Well I did all of this for a week and I was finally 
discharged but with a picc line and a portable antibiotic pump that I am able 
to carry around with me. I have a home care nurse that changes the IV bag every 
other day or so.   
  Today is some of my doctor appointments as well as my blood work. Man am I 
happy about that picc line no more needle holes all over my black and blue arms 
   
  Listen folks please don't consider me to be a super hero but someone that has 
a kick AZZ healing attitude, and as long as I am alive it will always be with 
me.   
  I told all of you this story so that you will realize that you can help 
yourself by having this kind of attitude. This is what I did when I used to 
live in that small plastic bubble (luminous Air Flow Chamber, and I will never 
forgot how it helped me. Not the chamber but my attitude.   
  I beg each one of you to try and do what I did because it works for me and 
with a little effort it can for you. Just start very slowly and let your mind 
control your body. Remember what I once told you, Leukemia is a disease of not 
only the body but the mind as we..   
  8's,

Please take care. Because low platelet counts need more self care. My counts 
also went low. But my oncologist stops the medicine once it reaches low and 
then allows to recover to restart the medicine.

I didnt know organic papaya leaf tea is available readily made. I collect 
Papaya leaves from friends and make the powder at home.

I live in Chennai, which is a metro city in south of India.

Hope your platelet counts improve soon.

Procedure:
Dry papaya leaves completely.
Add cumin seeds and little black pepper and powder the dried papaya leaves.
Keep it safe in a container.

Add water to spoon full of papaya leaf powder and boil it.

Hi Again Angie,
Now it makes sense, so you are also "blessed" (yea right) with Lupus. Yes that 
makes things more interesting. However you are also fighting your way through 
it and I take my Zavies zero number one hat off to you. I hope that you know 
what I'm talking about.
Anyway I don't necessarily recommend  papaya tea extract but you already 
ordered it so you can start off with that, but I just sent you a site from 
Puritans Pride with a lot of information. Please read it.
18's,
Marty
Thanks, Marty. I have ordered organic papaya leaf tea and will mix it as 
Ragavan suggests. My excitement for this week was a "silent" heart attack. I 
missed it. Felt nothing at all. Felt great all week. A blood test revealed a 
high level of Troponins in my blood and they got all excited and kept me in 
hospital for 3 days doing various tests. I will learn the results this week. I 
see a platelet specialist tomorrow. Maybe he will have more words of wisdom. I 
am  really happy to hear that you recommend papaya tea also and that it works. 
I had 9 platelets on Friday  (normal level 150-450) and my hemoglobinhad 
dropped into the low 80's. This seems to be an ongoing battle as my lupus tries 
to kill my body one cell at a time.Wishing all the best to you! 18's~

Hi Angie,
Please read this about the effects to not only your platelet counts but also 
your red cell count. Ragavan gave you some valuable advice but you need to find 
the best supplement that contains the best form of Papya leaf extract. By the 
way when I had my bone marrow transplant one of my friends got me some of it 
and it did work.
Let me do some research and get back to you. In the meantime you must be 
extremely careful not to injure your self. don't walk around barefoot or even 
use slippers. It will not offer any protection if you should stub one of your 
toes. I know all about that because it happened to me.
OK on to some research. By the way I am slowly starting to recover from the 
Staff infection in my lungs. I have a picc line and wear an infusion pump 24/7 
for the next few weeks.
I will get back to you

Hi, John.I live in Brantford, just the other side of Hamilton. I go to 
Juravinski in Hamilton as well as McMaster. I was in the Gleevec study for 12 
years.I have done so well on Gleevec  that no one has suggested any change in 
years. Hopefully they will find some way to stabilize my platelets and 
hemoglobin. I am feeling a little frail right nowNice to hear from 
you...Angie

Hi Angelyn I have had cml since 1999. I wa on gleevec in 2001 and for another 
couple of years but had to come off it. Then I went  on sprycel for anothe r 
couple of years. I was a couple of others and I have been on Ponatinib for the 
last two and a half years. It has been a good drug for me and we are still 
tweeting the dose. Two pills a week puts my platelets at a low value so I am on

Hi Peter,
Just last visit with my onc specialist named Jessica Altman who is on staff a 
Northwestern Univ. of Chicago, she clearly told me that CML patients should NOT 
have the live virus for shingles.  Thank you for all the articles which 
basically substantiate this claim.  My doc (and Greenie's) is highly respected 
at Moffitt Cancer Center in Florida.  Since I do have a healthy immune system 
and am in remission, I would be a possible contender to receive it according to 
your articles below.  But I am not in favor of most vaccines, so will 
definitely go by my own doc's suggestion. This is just my take on the 
situation, and I know many may disagree.   And pray for God's protection 
against shingles for all of us!!!  Have a wonderful holiday season.

Subject: [CMLHope] Shingles Vaccine Zostavax

Hi everybody.
Has anyone here received the shingles vaccine Zostavax?
The question is whether it is safe for CML patients. The info I have found is 
not 100% clear. The answers range from "should not" to "not recommended" to 
"may be given..". (See below)

Manufacturer (Merck)
http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/z/zostavax/zostavax_ppi.pdf
You should not get ZOSTAVAX if you have a weakened immune system (for example, 
an immune deficiency, leukemia, lymphoma, or HIV/AIDS). 

Public Health Canada
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cig-gci/p04-herp-zona-eng.php
HZ vaccine is contraindicated in people with immunodeficiency due to acute or 
chronic leukemia. However, persons with leukemia in remission and who have not 
received immunosuppressive chemotherapy or radiation for at least 3 months and 
who do not have defects in T cell function can receive HZ vaccine; consultation 
with an immunologist may be required.

Centers for Desease Control
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/shingles.pdf
A person should not get shingles vaccine who cancer affecting the bone marrow 
or lymphatic 
system, such as leukemia or lymphoma.

Mayo Clinic
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shingles/expert-answers/shingles-vaccine/faq-20057859
The shingles vaccine isn't recommended if you have cancer that affects the bone 
marrow or lymphatic system, such as leukemia or lymphoma.

National CML Society
http://www.nationalcmlsociety.org/faq/immunizations
Using the most current infectious disease guidelines, Zostavax (shingles 
vaccine) may be given to CML patients who are stable and not experiencing any 
evidence of relapse or progression, and who do not have other immune 
suppressive issues such as recent requirements for high dose corticosteroids. 
Individuals with CML who have restored and stable immune systems are eligible 
to receive the shingles vaccine if APPROVED BY THEIR CML SPECIALIST, since it 
contains elements of live virus. It is safe, however, for family members or 
those in close contact with CML patients to receive the vaccination.

[CMLHope] Blood test - hand veins

2014-10-30 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
My kidney specialist has given my a blood requisition. On it is a bright lime 
green sticker advising the phlebotomist :
***KIDNEY PATIENT***
If possible, please use hand veins first.

Do any of you know WHY this would be a recommendation? It sounds like cruel and 
unnatural punishment to me. The hand hurts more than any other location, and I 
get a big purple bruise that lasts for 3 weeks and of course everyone sees it 
and asks about it.
How can there be a benefit to taking blood from the hand? It is only about 8-10 
inches from my arm from where blood tests are usually taken. Same blood!

Just wondering if this is necessary...or plain sadistic.
Thanks~

Happy Birthday, Marty...
 I hope you had a wonderful, happy day with joy and sweet surprises, and that 
these blessings will carry into the forthcoming year
May 21st: My late brother John would have been 78 today. I gave him a kidney on 
Feb. 9, 1979. He died on Feb. 9, 1984.
Funny how life is.

Well, it's May 21st which is my first and second birthday. I was
actually born on May 21st 1944 and had my bone marrow transplant when
I was 45 years old on May 21st 1989. If you do the math I'm 70 years
old today.

My wife Shelly celabrated her birthday yesterday May 20th.

Re: [CMLHope] Re: let's all write about when we were first dx with leukemia

2014-05-17 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
In Dec. 2000 I was teaching full time, doing a 3 hr hike every Saturday, and 
generally being quite active and feeling normal. I was having hot flashes, 
which is exactly what a 53 yr old woman might expect. On 3 occasions I had cold 
flashes. With no explanation at all, I would get so freezing cold I was 
literally shaking. My skin would 'hurt' as though I were standing in a freezer, 
teeth would chatter...and it would pass after a few hours. I told my dr. about 
the chills and he said it was just a confused body thermometer that didn't know 
if it should be hot or cold...hormonal  and normal. I was to undergo a 
gynecological procedure and a routine blood test was taken. The gynecologist 
phoned my school and told me that I had "a blood disorder" and I was to go for 
blood work on Friday at the hosp. When I got there...big delay...and I was 
wondering why they didn't just take a few tubes and let me go back to school. 
They informed me that I would have a bone
 marrow biopsy done. I had never even heard of that before. I said that I was 
just FINE. The dr. said in a mournful voice, "Oh no, Mrs. Esders, you are a 
very sick woman. Well, that was news to me! The biopsy was scary (and painful) 
as I really didn't know what to expect. I was released after the whole day in 
hosp. and called shortly thereafter and told to come to the dr's office with a 
"supportive adult".grim foreboding sets in 
On Dec. 11, I was informed that I had CML and would be treated at McMaster 
University Medical Centre in Hamilton, Ont. All I could think that day was, 
"HOW on EARTH could all these experts be s wrong? I am perfectly FINE!" The 
team at McMaster was a true blessing. I was offered a chance to be on the 
Gleevec study, and accepted it. I was one of the last people in the world 
allowed into the study. It closed a day later. Five patients at McMaster 
qualified. The computer randomized 4 to the traditional treatment of interferon 
and citarabine (sp?) I was the only one randomized to the study drug. I was 
quite nauseous at the beginning on 400 mg of Gleevec, but learned to eat a bowl 
of oatmeal first and take an antinauseant (Bonamine). It no longer bothers me.  
I always take it after a solid breakfast containing protein. I have been on 
Gleevec since Jan. 22, 2001. On July 5, 2001, I reached cytological remission, 
my dose was reduced to 300 mg a day...and
 life went on. Dr. Walker, having had 2 bone marrow biopsies done on himself, 
is a master at it, and I learned to chew bubblegum, listen to music on 
headphones, keep my hands relaxed, and sometimes even whistle through the 
procedure. I experienced dreadful muscle cramping at the beginning (all over my 
body) but that seems to have passed. In 2003 I had 2 mild heart attacks. In 
2006 I was diagnosed with SLE... Lupus. Lupus has been about 100 times worse to 
deal with than CML!!!
 I gave a kidney to my brother in 1979. Sadly the remaining kidney is pretty 
tired out after all my drugs and oral chemo over 35 yr, and now I am having to 
pay close attention to my diet and take insulin in order to prolong the life of 
the kidney.
I am still way too active, loving the blessings that life brings. I volunteer a 
lot, travel a lot, and sing. 
Who knows what will land on me next? I'll just do my best to step over it and 
continue...
Angie In Canada.

See the NY Times Sunday edition for May 11, 2014, for a 2-page ad  
placed by OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University. Druker is here.)

Message: CANCER DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER RIBBON. IT NEEDS ANOTHER CURE.

In case you don't find it, here is the text:

At OHSU, we take a different approach to fighting cancer. We  
revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with Gleevec.  
For hundreds of thousands of people, CML is no longer a death  
sentence. That's one cancer down.

(Bold type) Cancer doesn't need more awareness. It needs more Gleevecs.

We are going after cancer as aggressively as it goes after us. And  
because time is of the essence, Nike cofounder Phil Knight and his  
wife, Penny, have pledged $500 million if we can raise a matching route.

Help us make cancer the victim.

onedown.org

Nancy Chando and I went to NYC in Jan. or Feb. to hear him speak: "The  
Cure for Cancer Is within Reach.) The talk was at the 92nd Street Y.  
We arrived, checked in at the main desk, and made our way through a  
couple of security guys. We were surprised that Drucker would need  
that. But then found out security was for Chelsea Handler. Didn't get  
to see her. My memory has faded regarding what he said. But talk was  
shaped by "Where we were, where we are, and where we're going. All is  
hopeful. New drugs in the pipeline and the promise of the genome to  
yield significant
information for research. Nancy and I met a woman in the audience and  
sat 3 across with her. She had cml and was in remission. When it was  
time for questions I raised my hand and told Drucker that we were 3  
people in remission from cml & that we were forever grateful and  
appreciative. And said we would like to shake his hand--and maybe hug  
and kiss him. We got resounding applause for our remission. We  
introduced ourselves to him after the lecture and had pictures taken  
with him. We didn't hug or kiss him. He was modest and unassuming, not  
formal or aloof. It was so satisfying to meet him. We felt lucky and  
privileged.

My best regards to everyone. Hope you are well, or soon will be.

Re: [CMLHope] Aniversary 13

2014-03-13 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
 Good luck to you, Marty
I passed 13 years with CML this past December. I have complications in the 
kidney also. I gave my brother a kidney in 1979. Sadly, my remaining one, that 
has been working solo for those 35 years, is starting to decline. I am on a 
special diet of low potassium and trying hard to control my blood sugar
in order to preserve the kidney. Nobody promised us that Life would be easy.
We must take JOY in all that we do, concentrate on the positive and let go of 
the negative as well as we can. I firmly believe that if we are not happy then 
our meds are not working to their full capacity.
18's to you...

Hi Dawn,

You are a shining example of what 18's means. You are also an example for 
everyone to see that no matter how it effects them they are still alive because 
of something that was not around when I had CML. I had no other viable choice 
but to have gone through a bone marrow transplant almost 24 years ago. Everyone 
that is reading this is a survivor and should keep that in mind. 


I would like to bring someone up. His name is Skip, and he has had CML for over 
36 years, I believe now going on 37 years, and is currently not on any TKI's 
but is still alive. I know him personally and I know that his mind is what is 
controlling his body. This man has such a great attitude that we should all 
take an example from him, I know that I do.


I truly love each and every one of you because you are fighters which few can 
understand because they don't know what we all go through and still keep on 
"ticking". I am proud to call you my extended family.


Just one more thing to say: When I read about someone being PCRU I am over 
joyed because of all the advances that have been maid because of all the ways 
CML is now being treated. Mark my words, before to long CML will be a disease 
that will be no more, just like Polio was once. A simple vaccine took care of 
that and so it will be for CML. For those that are not PCRU, then so what, 
because it is only a bunch of numbers and you are all still alive. 


Before my bone marrow transplant I was given only a fifteen percent chance of 
survival. I went into this but said to myself, "hey, this is only a number" and 
I am still here and alive. It is like the doctor telling his patient you have 
only six months to live, and the doctor died shortly after.


Remember what I have said many times. It is your mind that can help to control 
your body. Try and live by that and you will be a much happier person. I am not 
here to preach to any of you but simply trying to help in any way that I can. 
As I previously mentioned, your all part of my extended family. 


As most of you know, I have been going through some difficult times and I have 
been getting so many prayers and good wishes that I just want to return it to 
all of you. My mind is truly helping me through every day that I live.


Now you know why I end each and every post with those two numbers 18's (the 
symbol for life) to all of you. 


Marty


18's to each and every one of you.

Hi, Shannon. I think I remember you from one of the online chat sessions that 
Zavie Miller used to arrange so many years ago.
 
I have been on Gleevec for 12½ yr now. I was quickly in remission and now take 
300mg a day. I was told long ago to always eat protein before taking Gleevec to 
avoid upset stomach. I take 2 in the morning and one in the evening.  
Watermelon seems to help with nausea also.
All goes well, thank the powers that be!
I hope these suggestions can help you~

Hi Shannon.
I was on Gleevec for two years. I remember having a lot of nausea/vomiting for 
months, until I decided to split the dose, taking half with breakfast and the 
other half with dinner. No more nausea after that!
My doc said, because Gleevec has a long half-life (18 hrs.), it doesn't really 
matter how you take it. So, you may want to give this a try.

Hoping you feel better soon,

Re: [CMLHope] colonoscopy?

2013-10-06 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
Ask the pharmacist. There are alternatives to that hideous and expensive gallon 
of fluid.
There are other ways to accomplish the same.
What REALLY annoys me is that the same laxative dose is given to a 5'2" woman 
as to a 6'6" man. It may work for a man, but for a small woman it is painful, 
exhausting and above all, NOT NECESSARY! It is unnecessary pain and discomfort.
The pharmacist (in Canada) gave me another drug that cost about 1/4 the price 
of what the dr. had prescribed, and it was not necessary to drink until your 
eyes almost popped out of your head. 
That is my 2¢ worth!

[CMLHope] Re: Does any one use Apple Cider Vinegar?

2013-09-14 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
Every morning of her life my mother drank a glass of warm water containing a 
spoonful of honey and a spoonful of apple cider vinegar.
She lived to age 97.  After I was born in 1947, she went 61 years without 
revisiting a hospital. She took no medications.
(I sure wish I had inherited her iron constitution!)

Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Re: Hi
  


Thanks and hats off to Marty and Millie.  I realize I am no different, believe 
me.  You guys haven't heard much about my life, and maybe I won't bore you with 
details today.  But I do stay busy now doing the things I love.  I just was 
slightly paralyzed about getting going to a specialist.  I knew I must do that, 
and have researched many around the country over the years.  A good kick in the 
butt by you blood brothers and sisters was exactly what I needed.   
 
I earned my theology degree at age 52 (year 2000), in Florida before we 
returned here to Indiana in 2010.  Before moving to Fla., I also have done a 
lot of counseling to lay people and training of leaders over the years in the 
Christian element.  Did a lot of public speaking for seventeen years within a 
parachurch organization.  Worked for eleven years at what I called a "social 
service agency" within a large church.  I coordinated all the volunteers to go 
to nursing homes, prisons, juvenile detention facilities, etc.  Planned 3 or 4 
trips a year to raise money for all this.  Also had a list of shut-ins that we 
ministered to regularly. Did visitation to the hospitals as well.  Still do 
that!  The best part was giving food to the poor through the church. I couldn't 
wait to go to work each day!  After that time period ended in my life I was 
still very active going on mission trips, conducting weekend marriage seminars, 
and marriage classes.  Had
 gone into selling advertising for Christian organizations to make my living 
after the church thing was done.  Now I do a lot of studying and hope to 
develop some teaching classes at our church, etc.  I coordinate the prayer team 
at our church as well, and send out prayer requests by e-mail for two 
organizations.  As I told Marcie, I love Israel and support them in any way I 
can.  Sometimes our house also becomes a hotel as our friends and family pop in 
and out.   
 
So that's what keeps me busy, and other family things as well.  To begin going 
back to doctors regularly again is beyond fun to think about, but the 
alternative is simply not acceptable.  I really do thank God every day for each 
day and love Celebrating My Life!!! 
 
Oh, by the way, I asked Dr. Pinilla through e-mail about the vaccine he was 
working on, but he only answered me about his recommendation of medication and 
two docs he recommended.  I guess I asked him too many questions for him to 
answer.totally understandable. 

Thanks again for all the encouragement, 
18's, 
Susan F. Zimmerman

Hi Susan,  
 
Sure you may have your problems but the important thing is that you have 
decided to try and do something about them. You are no different then anyone 
else. Sometimes we just go through so much that we are terribly frightened to 
do anything about them because anything that is of the unknown always seems to 
frighten us.  
 
I want to tell you that you, Millie, Richard, Greenie and all of the rest of 
those even on different CML sites that are suffering from CML would probably 
not be here right now if it weren't for the TKI's that are out there now.  
 
You will see, mark my words, that there will be something coming soon that will 
rid you and everyone else of this terrible disease just like when the Polio 
vaccine got rid of Polio. Just like Penicillin and all of the rest of the 
antibiotics help with curing infections. 
 
I think that we all should take an example from Millie. She may have some 
debilitating things going on but she still keeps herself busy with making her 
pillow cases and shams and the like. She says that it is nuts, but is it 
really? 
 
She further says that, and I quote her exact words: "I know it's nuts, but 
doing these things, keeps me going (like the energizer bunny) and takes my mind 
off of everything else."   
 
 
Enough said judge for yourself. Get doing things that you like, I guarantee 
that it will make you feel better.  
I always say that your mind is a very powerful tool, you just have to learn to 
use it in constructive ways.  
 
Now I'm not saying that it is going to cure you of any disease but you will 
feel better when your doing something that you enjoy. Isn't that what life is 
all about? 
 
Busy hands make happy minds. 
 
18's, 
 
Marty

Re: [CMLHope] Taking a break from gleevec after over 12 years

2013-06-08 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
Having been in remission for 12 yr. now, I see my oncologist only twice a year.
When I saw him Thursday I brought up the topic of a break from Gleevec.
He did not encourage it in the least, and he gave several reasons why he 
thought it was not a good idea.
 I was a little disappointed, but...hey! I am doing great, so why meddle?
I have taken 300mg of Gleevec daily for at least 8 years now.
My side effects are minimal...
I am grateful to feel so well and to live the life I choose.
I will ask the dr. again in 6 months and see if he has changed his mind yet.

That's great news.  When I went off Gleevec 5 years ago. I was tested every 
month for a while then as I progressed with excellent results to 3 months and 
then 6 months.  The body also responded nicely, I gained energy, lost 30 pounds 
and my leg edema went away.  I am glad your ONC is willing to work with you.

[CMLHope] Cramping...

2013-05-01 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
I was really bothered by cramping for some years (I have been on Gleevec for 12 
years now.). I find that the best and fastest relief for cramping in the feet 
is standing barefoot on a COLD surface. As my bedroom is carpeted, I used to 
keep a large plastic covered book beside the bed to step on when the cramps 
attacked. It was, at least, cool to my feet.
Any movement repeated a few times with effort will cramp mepeeling 
potatoes, polishing silver, cutting with scissors. I have even gotten a cramp 
in my lips while putting on lipstick. The cramp of the throat muscles while 
yawning is the MOST uncomfortable of all. I hate getting a foot cramp while I 
am driving at high speed on a freeway. I tried potassium supplements, and 
drinking orange juice when a cramp struck.
After so many years I still get them but they are fewer and farther between. 

I always look around and see unfortunates whose lives are worse than mine, and 
I am grateful for the ability to live a pretty normal life despite CML.

Hi Millie,

You just said something that shows me what type of a person you really are. You 
said that you are working to make yourself feel better. Maybe not in those 
exact words but the same idea. I would like to send you something that was 
given to me when I had my bone marrow transplant. It was pasted on the outside 
of the plastic bubble I had to live in for many months. I read it every day and 
it gave me insperation to continue along my journey. Please see below...

I hope that your tests come out well for you and hopefully they may find a 
solution to your problem.

You also have something that is very precious and that is how your mind works. 
I always say that when you have Leukemia it is not only a disease of the body 
but the mind as well. You seem to be controling your disease with your mind 
helping you along. I'm not saying that you can cure yourself with your mind but 
only that you yourself make it a lot eiser to deal with it because your a very 
strong willled person.

So, I know that this is also meant for you as well...

Daniel, 
Lots of possibilities including coincidence. Sounds like it might be fungal. 
Especially what you're describing behind the ear. Think of dandruff below the 
hair line.
It's easy and pretty innocuous to check out. Try a little clotrimazole cream in 
one area. If that's the problem you should see substantial improvement in a day 
or two.
For the scalp (and other areas) an anti-dandruff shampoo with selenium sulfide 
can be much more effective than the zinc versions. (1% OTC vesions include Head 
& Shoulders Intensive Care, Selsen Blue. 2% versions are prescription. Despite 
all the commercials about "dry scalp" dandruff is a fungal infection.)

I was diagnosed on Dec. 11, 2000also 2 wks before Christmas!! Some dates 
just stick in your mind, huh?
I started on 400mg of Gleevec daily.. reached complete cytogenic remission 
after 6 mo. Reduced to 300 mg daily and have been doing well
for the past almost 12 years. (After 6 yr I developed lupus; however, they are 
sure it is unrelated to the Gleevec.)
It has always been my belief that if you are not happy, then your meds are not 
going to be able to work as well for you. 
I see my onc. twice a year, still take Gleevec, and try not to let CML be my 
identity.
Thank God, I have been very VERY lucky (never had interferon) and can live my 
life as I wish, traveling a lot and volunteering.
When diagnosed, I started a scrapbook of things I wanted to do before I cashed 
in my earthly chips. I haven't been to Vanuatu yet, but last year traveled the 
great Silk Road of Marco Polo across central Asia. I have flown over Mount 
Everest and sailed around Cape Horn.
Yes, I am very grateful for my health, and value every day. 
Dwelling on the negative implications of my health would be the most harmful 
thing I could do.

Richard and Marty,  and the group 
Marty, I did not know about your Christmas gift I also was two weeks before 
Christmas,except 1977,
Richard my survival had nothing to do with me  I just went along for the ride  
I would to take some credit but I cannot.  If  I had any part in it, it was 
after I settled down, I remembered this story a priest said church,
        
a man riding a donkey a very narrow trail in the mountains fell off and over 
the ledge,  he managed to grab a branch, there he hung and then he heard 
footsteps along the path,  he yelled at the top of his voice HELP ME
Nothing happened  the footsteps faded ,then he heard a donkey on the trail,once 
again.,he cried out PLEASE HELP me Nothing 
After a long time he was very tired and could not hold on much more
He cried out in a loud voice PLEASE GOD HELP ---A voice came from on high DO 
REALLY MY HELP THEN LET GO

That is what I did Just what I needed to I relaxed and from what my doc
says about under street you need more  but if can reduce the stress your 
body can use the meds better requiring less

Please excuse errors in spelling and punctuation  wife bought new tablet
it seems to want to put in words for me

Hi Rein,

Nice to meet you here. I am a survivor and am in the process of writing a book 
about my life and the things I was able to do to help others. I once wrote a 
true story about having hope that I entitled "The Window". I would like you to 
read it. 

Any time that I end a message I say two numbers 18 both of them together 
symbolize life

18's to you Rein,

Marty

  The
Window  
 
 This is a true story that took
place more than twenty years ago. 

There were two men in the
cancer ward of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. They were in Ward KCC-6
North, which was at that time the cancer ward at that hospital. Both of these
men were suffering from the end stages of Leukemia. They were there basically
to die. One of these men had his bed right next to the only window in the room.
The other one was across the room and had no access to the window. The man by
the window would always tell the other man how beautiful it was looking out of
that window, and let him know what was happening outside. He would talk about
the beautiful skies, and how all of the little children were playing in Central
Park. He would tell about the green grass, and the people who were having a
picnic, and the dogs that were running around, as well as the ice cream truck
with the man selling ice cream pops to the little children, and the hot dog
vender also selling hot dogs with mustard and sour kraut. He would tell the
other man that he would be able to see all of this for himself once he was
healed. This went on for about two weeks, and one morning the nurse came into
the room as she usually did, and presented these two men with their sponge
baths. She first went over to the man who was by the window to find that he had
passed away in his sleep. She then covered him up and left the room for a
couple of minutes. When she returned, there was a doctor with her. This was a
fairly new young doctor who would pronounce the man dead, and at that
particular time, 8:40 a.m. even though he had obviously passed away some time
during the night .The other man across the room with tears running down his
cheeks became quite depressed at seeing his roommate wheeled out of the room,
declared dead. He thought about how this man would always try to make him happy
with him describing all of the nice things he was able to see outside .Later on
that day the nurse returned and made up the bed in the room that was now
unoccupied. The man in the other bed asked if by any chance he would be able to
be put by the window. The nurse was a very kind and compassionate woman besides
being a very competent nurse, and she wheeled him over .Although this man was
unable to prop himself up to see the outside because he had recently had his
Spleen surgically removed, he tried but finding it was just impossible. The
next day came, and he again tried and although he was in a great deal of pain
he managed to very slowly prop himself up and peer out of that most appealing
window. He was absolutely shocked at what he was able to see, or to put it
another way, what he was unable to see. There was nothing there but a brick
wall! He wondered why that man would always tell him about what a beautiful
world it was out there when in fact there was nothing but that brick wall. At
about that time the nurse came in with his sponge bath. He immediately without
any reservation asked her why the man would always tell him about what was
happening outside when in fact he wasn't able to see anything. The nurse then
told him that he was correct. The man who had been by that window was in fact
not able to see anything because he was blind. 
 
 The man then realized that the other man was
trying to make him feel good, and try to become well once again. And, as it
turned out that other man did in fact return to health but not until he was
able to receive a Bone Marrow Transplant. There was a donor found, his sister,
and although he had to live in a plastic bubble for many months without having
a window in it he would also be able to see all of those wonderful things that
this world has to offer. In effect the man who passed away prepared the other
man so that he would be able to tolerate something that no one could ever
imagine happening to anyone. I know all about this story because I was that
other man, and without this blind man’s help I would have never been able to
really “see” what the other man saw, even though he was totally blind. I gladly
wrote this story to be able to make others understan

I don't know if it is a myth or not, but I was told many years ago to make sure 
I had a breakfast heavy in PROTEIN before taking my Gleevec.
It sure seems to work for me! I might feel sick after a breakfast of toast and 
jam, but never after eggs or grilled cheese or ham on toast.

Also, eating some ice cold watermelon seems to help with nausea.
I have been on 300 mg of Gleevec for 11 years.
Good luck, and I hope you find something that works for you!

pressure on the muscles..e.g. drying lots of dishes, cutting with scissors, 
polishing silver, rolling cookie batter, walking a long time, etc and etc. 
You just have to shake out the muscles and get on with life.

Dear Pat and Marty and all my other fellow CMLers,
 
I am very grateful for the medicines which keep us alive. I am also aware of 
how often people with CML are given  little or wrong information from doctors 
and even said "experts". I am pleased for you Pat, that you got a third expert 
- someone who works with CML to guide you in your treatment and decision 
making. Being properly educated about our meds, the potential risks, side 
effects and complications that can arise feels so important to me.
 
This sight is so important to so many of us because it is a place where people 
can share knowledge, resources, as well as  tell their stories of both 
challenge and hope with those who are sharing a similar journey. I am deeply 
grateful for all of you out there.
 
My question for today is if anyone on sprycel...or potentially gleevec or 
tasigna as well...has had a rise in their CPK muscle enzymes...I was doing 
O.K.. enough managing my side effects from Sprycel but then got hit from 
behind in June with increased swelling..which I know is a known side 
effectwhile that has been rectified with diuretics etc.the CPK has not 
gone down..and I have felt truly awful, with a muscle fatigue that makes it 
hard to walk, let alone go up and down stairs or be able to wok.. One 
oncologist thinks it' a sprycel side effect that sprang up in month 8 of taking 
the med. Another oncologist thinks the sprycel made my body more vulnerable to 
another disease process and is sending me to a rheumatologist. I am an 
otherwise healthy 49 year old.  
 
It would help me immensely to know if anyone out there has had this issue as 
well as how they treated it and if it resolved or not while still taking the  
TKI meds.
 
Thanks so very much,
 
Beth in Chicago

old and the last survivor of 12 children, so that is a pretty broad spectrum.

Hi Ruth,

I think there are still a lot of unknowns on whether or not there is some 
genetic component to risk for blood cancers.  I talked with a researcher a few 
years ago that was looking at families with CLL and there is some connection 
with that leukemia--CLL itself does have family clusters--but he said he had 
not seen an association with CLL and CML in the same family.  He also said he 
wasn't studying that so it could be possible.  My father had CLL as well and my 
niece died of ALL. 

I went to an LLS board meeting this week and we had a woman guest who lost all 
three of her grown children to AML in a 2 year period.  Her children were 36, 
32, and 22 and all were diagnosed and died within a 2 year span from 2004 to 
2006.  It is truly a horrible story.   She has not recovered and I wonder if 
she ever will.  She still appears to be in shock.  She said no one has come to 
her to ask for a dna sample so they could study this case--and she seemed angry 
that no one seemed interested enough in doing this research.  I understood her 
anger and frustration, but I also know that funding for research is limited and 
most researchers are too busy looking for cures and treatments.   There are a 
limited number of researchers and every topic can't possibly get studied 
immediately.  I'm sure someone will eventually figure out whether or not there 
is some genetic marker that makes families prone to blood cancers.  

Hope you are doing well!

Best wishes,
Dorothy

Hi, Ruth...I was astounded to hear that Norma had died!
I got no CML Hope message about it. 
Tell me what you know.
Norma and I have always kept in touch...I had not heard from her lately.
The worst is, I got out my pics from the Spring Fling, and everyone is in the 
pics except Norma! God knows why!!! Do you have a photo of her?
Thanks so much, Ruth, and I trust you are doing well.

Dear Group--I was lucky enough to know Norma. She was a warm
& friendly person, and she had a good sense of humor. I
think Gina said that first. I met Norma on our "Spring
Fling" to Treasure Island, FL. I believe Shelley, Lynne,
Angie, Dorothy,  Dawn & Capt. Bob, and Dane all attended.
Hope I didn't forget anyone. It was the first time many of
us had met. We were instant friends. We could talk about cml
& have immediate understanding, sympathy, and compassion.
One evening Dawn invited us(the women) to see a production
of Beauty and the Beast. Angie and I went with Dawn. The
others, including Norma, said they would go to dinner. When
Angie & I got back to the apartment everyone was there. We
asked what they did while we were gone. There was silence.
Then they burst out laughing--and said they stayed in the
apartment and talked about their problems. It was a great
moment. At a later date, Dorothy & I met Norma & Gina in
Chicago. Another fun and special time. Norma is someone to
remember--a loyal and caring friend. 

Regards,

Ruth Marcon

Rob,
 
Zavie continues to get better. I just got off the phone with Ida and she told 
me that Zavie was able to get to his feet today and walk a little with help. 
 
He is now also able to feed himself, and his weakness on his left side has 
improved a bit. He is still cracking jokes (something that I taught him a very 
long time ago) and generally feeling a bit better.
 
You know that with everyone praying for him and with their wonderful support he 
knows it, and that I believe is really helping him. 
 
Ida also told me that he is in a wonderful place with wonderful people all 
helping him.
 
Take care, and may GOD bless Zavie and everyone that he cares about.

understanding everything but has some weakness on his left side which is 
understandable for what he went through. He is not paralized and is still in a 
lot of pain from his legs but that will be dealt with later on. The main thing 
is that Zavie is a very strong fighter and he is still here with us.

Re: [CMLHope] Prayers For Zavie Miller

2011-05-30 Thread ANGELYN ESDERS
A few years ago when we visited Ottawa to see the Renoir exhibit at the 
National Gallery, we arranged to meet Zavie, who also worked as a volunteer at 
the gallery. What a gem of a man! He took us through the gallery and just shone 
with love for the art he showed us. We had lunch together, and took photos of 
one another, and my husband and I agreed that the visit would have been only 
half as enjoyable without Zavie's bright and cheerful company.
Prayers go out to Zavie. He is a remarkable man, and we are deeply saddened to 
hear of his stroke. Best wishes for his recovery!

Dear Friend/Relative/Zero Club Member/etc,
Signing this petition is very important. My CML friends in the UK are being 
denied treatment that is standard everywhere else. The government’s argument is 
that the additional dosage is too expensive. I would argue that the regular 
dosage is too expensive and if they came up with the money for the initial dose 
that they have the obligation to continue treating the patient if the dose has 
to be increased.
Please take the time to sign this petition.
Zavie Miller
CML ZERO CLUB Number 102

Sorry to intrude, but I'd like a favour

Below is a email I've just sent to my MP (Jim Dowd). Please would you also sign 
the petition to keep my cancer drug?

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/nice-i-don-t-think-so.html 

With Love
Alan


My Bone Marrow Cancer. 

Dear Jim,

I need your help to reverse a decision that could affect my life and the lives 
of all CML patients now and in the future.
NICE has issued an Appraisal Consultation Document reviewing the use of 
Dasatinib, Nilotinib and high dose Imatinib for Imatinib resistant CML.

In this document it states that Dasatinib, Nilotinib and high dose Imatinib are 
not recommended for the treatment of CML that is resistant to standard dose 
Imatinib. People who are currently receiving Dasatinib, Nilotinib and high dose 
Imatinib may however continue.
This information has appeared on the NICE website on Friday 6th May, and is 
open to comment from all stakeholders, including patients, their carers and 
friends. Link to NICE Document: 
http://www.nice.org.uk/newsroom/pressreleases/DasatinibImatinibAndNilotinibForCML.jsp

I wrote to you in November 2009, regarding NICE's proposal to reject my cancer 
drug.
You passed my email on to the then Heath Minister. The decision was postponed 
due to the election.

I thought that Cameron's words about the NHS cancer treatments meant my 
treatment was safe.

NICE's Appraisal Consultation Document states that my drug is not recommended 
for the treatment of CML, and this could even result in withdrawal of  my 
current treatment.
I am on a drug called Dasatinib 100mg a day. It is expensive.

The drug that I would be placed back on is the one my body rejected.
I suffered nasty side effects and my cancer-count kept doubling 
logarithmically, very frightening.

Dasatinib has reduced my bone marrow cancer from 100% mutated white-blood cells 
to 0.084%. Achieving and keeping my cancer in Cryogenic remission. White blood 
cells only live in my body for hours; that is why it is important that I take 
the drug at the same time every day.

It is vital that our case (CML sufferers) is heard. We only have a very small 
window 6th May 2011 to 27th May 2011

CML (Bone marrow Cancer) is a rare cancer but there are still  550 new patients 
a year.

Please would you personally sign the petition on the website and urge others 
too:  
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/nice-i-don-t-think-so.html

Alan Quarterman

Has anyone found that their creatnine levels have risen while taking Gleevec?  
I know this occurs when one's blood pressure goes up for any length of time but 
I'm talking about having normal blood pressure yet creatinine levels rising.
