[CMLHope] Got a sore won’t heal ?

2019-03-30 Thread 'Jeanie' via CMLHope

Hi all 
I pray everyone is good and having s wonderful spring. When my lilies start 
blooming I know we ate in for a great spring 
I have developed a sore on my tummy and I thought it must have been a big bite. 
It is very painful and developed a black scab and red rash. I never had 
anything like this before so was wondering if any sn this list had had this 
experience.  
Millie told me not to long before she died she developed a sore on the bottom 
of her foot that wouldn’t heal. 
I don’t have diabetes so if anyone has had this how did you treat it and etc. 
haven’t brought myself up to going to Dr.  
I still miss my dr from Moffitt who was Dr Balducci.  They have turned my case 
over to a nurse.  
Let us hear from everyone. Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] Hi Shaun question

2019-01-08 Thread 'Jeanie' via CMLHope
Thank you Shaun
I’ve been fighting leukemia for 15 years this month. My hubby passed away and I 
grieved hard for him as we were married 43 years before. I’ve always wondered 
if the grief damaged my immune system. 

When your dad told what he went through having his transplant I sure was happy 
we had the chemo tki’s to help us. 

I’m on my 4th tki having relapsed on the others. It’s called Ponatinib.  It put 
me in remission in 3 months but it is a very dangerous drug. So far it’s been 
good to me. 

Thanks for thinking of me and all our group.

Thank you Shaun
I miss him too so much. Sometimes I feel like giving up and going into hospice 
but his words keep whispering in my ear: fight on.  
I love the story about the shoes. No he told me he didn’t want the book 
published but I know it would help a lot of people. 
If you change your mind let me know. 
What a great family he had 
Keep in touch 
Happy New Year

Hi Beth and thanks
Yes I started losing hair and weight.  Felt tired and sleepy. Dr said tsh was 
high. But the Levo he gave me made me so nervous I thought I was having a panic 
attack. Also gave me chest pains. I think I have hyper not hypo.  So wrong 
meds. 
Going soon to have it rechecked. 
Thanks again.

Hi Beth
I didn’t know you had thyroid issues. 
Maybe you can help me. My tsh was high and the dr gave me Levo meds but they

[CMLHope] Let us hear from everyone. Happy new year

2018-12-26 Thread 'Jeanie' via CMLHope

As our new year approaches I thought it would be wonderful to hear from all of 
you
In this amazing group with an update on your journey through cml.   
I am almost 15 years into fighting my battle. I found this group early on and 
it has been a tremendous help to me. If you will read to the end you will have 
my journey documented. 
Won’t you join me in a quiet moment for all the families who have lost loved 
ones in this group. 
Marty and Millie and many others fought long and hard and uplifted us too many 
times to count. 
They will never be forgotten. 
Let us know how you are. 
Thanks
Love to all
Jeanie and 18s for Marty

So glad Nick is doing good and fighting on. I have been fighting for 14 years 
and Gleevec was a real battle. After mutants for other tki I am now on 
Ponatinib. 
Those sweats are the worse. I guess we should just think of them as cleaning 
out those cancer cells. 
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving as my son cooked and cleaned for me. I live 
alone but he is right next door and I stay with him a lot. 
Christmas is my favorite time of the year and we filled 12 bags of gifts for 
family.  Tree is glowing and I’m just happy to be here to enjoy it. I sure miss 
the ones we have lost. 
Thank you so much for your blessings and you guys sure are a blessing to this 
group. 
Have a beautiful time with the season ahead. 
Love you so very much 
Jeanie

Hi Susan
Thanks for the uplift and sorry for your problems. 
Did you have your thyroid checked. 
I first noticed my right pinkie was numb and then it went all the way to my 
elbow. 
Yes I too don’t want to leave the house. My daughters insist I do. 
Have a wonderful holiday and keep warm. It’s even cold in fl

[CMLHope] Hi Shaun question

2018-11-21 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope

Hi Shaun
I know you are in a lot of grief and if you don’t feel like talking about I 
will understand. 
I have never feared death but always feared that I would be in a lot of pain 
while dying. My question is did they give your dad pain meds before he went 
into hospice?   
I miss him so much as he was my advisor as well as my friend. 
Prayers to you and yours

Thanks Shaun
It’s wonderful to know you will be checking on us. 
Marty was much more than a advisor. We all loved him so much. 
His last email to me was he was in rehab and he would get with me as soon as he 
could. 
I always feel God puts us where he wants us.  
Prayers always
Jeanie

So true Sherrie.  Thanks for the tribute. I was waiting on him to answer a 
question I had asked him. When he didn’t answer I had a feeling something was 
very wrong. 
He fought so hard and helped so many. 
I’ll be thinking of the tree as I say my prayers. 
Love you all so very much

I am so shocked and upset as I read this.  I have been waiting for an answer to 
a question I had about my thyroid and since he didn’t answer I knew something

I am in pain daily so I know what’s it like to just want it to be over. 
He was the leader of our pack and I’m
So sorry for your loss and ours. My prayers go out to you and family.  
Our list will never be the same.

Hi all
Good to hear from you. 
Has anyone heard from Marty?
Do you like Sebring Greenie?
This thyroid disease is getting me down.  I want to sleep all day and wake up 
around midnight.  It’s awful!!!
Pray that I will get it straightened out soon 
Have a safe trip Greenie and I hope you can get together with Beth. 
Love you so very much.

[CMLHope] Thyroid bad

2018-10-01 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi all I got my thyroid test back. The counts err very high so went back to 
taking meds.  Check it again in 6 weeks. 
I am sure it’s all these meds.  Did you know even the X-rays from dentist can 
hurt thyroid. They say to asked for a protection mask.  I have never heard 
about this in all my years at the dentist. You?
They order mri like it’s a trip to the candy store I had 3 last year with no 
answers. 
If those tests are killing our thyroids then we need to be told.  Right?
Have s wonderful day. 
Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] Seeing a nurse at Moffitt

2018-09-25 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi lee
I believe you are right and I might just do that. 
I don’t feel the nurse knows my case that much. I got nervous and my blood 
pressure went up. After my visit they had a social worker call me to see if I 
was alright.  If it had been my dr that would never have happened as he knew 
me. 
Thanks again 
❤️❤️

Re: [CMLHope] Blood work Moffitt perfect

2018-09-25 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Thanks Beth
That’s what I think too. I guess because I’m in remission they don’t think I 
need a doctor but a good doctor one that you trust can help you so much. Just 
going with it now. Hope you are better. 
Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] Blood work Moffitt perfect

2018-09-23 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi all
At Moffitt after Dr Balducci retired I have been turned over to a nurse. I was 
wondering how many of you have been turned over to a nurse and should I 
consider getting a dr.  
I have been with Moffitt for 7 years. I have always had a dr. It just seems 
strange not having one but I like Moffitt.  
Hope and pray all are good 
Marty did I miss your post on your cruise?  I have been on many cruises but 
never to Alaska. I didn’t think I would like the cold. How was it!
Thanks to all.

Re: [CMLHope] Blood work Moffitt perfect

2018-09-20 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi Beth
Just wanted to let you know that Sprycel quit working for me after 4 years.  Dr 
found out I had a mutation. Have them check to see if you do. 
This is when they put me on Ponatinib.  I am doing good on it. 
Been on it now for almost 4 years. 
It’s a very dangerous drug if you have heart problems do you will have to see 
Prayers
Jeanie❤️

Re: [CMLHope] Blood work Moffitt perfect

2018-09-20 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi Beth
I know how this is.  All these test and no answers. I too was in the hospital 
last May with every test you could think of. No answers to my side pain at all 
and Moffitt won’t agree that it’s cancer related so they won’t treat it. My dr 
had to retire and they turned me over to Martrine Extraman.  I don’t even see 
her as she turned me over to a nurse.  I don’t feel protected with no dr to 
see. 
Well I only have to go every three months so as long as the blood is good I’m 
kk. 
The senior oncology program has been moved to a new Moffitt cancer building and 
it looks more like an expensive hotel than a cancer center. 
It seems they are trying to use less employees and more machines to take care 
of you.  
I will get my bcr abl  test back soon. Let you know how many cancers cells are 
lurking around ready to pounce. Hehe
Prayers for all

Re: [CMLHope] Re: Breathing Difficulties [Dasatinib]

2018-08-23 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi Marty 
Thanks.  
How was your cruise?  
No I’m not afraid of meds. You know my motto is faith and pills. I have been 
putting a pill in my tummy that you are supposed to wash your hands after 
handling.  Tki.  These are miracle drugs for sure. They saved my life several 
times.  
I am thinking of going to a specialist at Moffitt.  I never knew so many people 
were on thyroid meds.  
I always tell my kids I’m not afraid of dying just the pain that goes with it. 
I have seen people die in pain and some just pass peacefully. 
My hubby just went to sleep and never woke up.  Poor baby he suffered enough 
while he was living. He gave himself a shot of insulin daily.  
He was brave and happy right until the end. 
Hope everyone is good tonight. 
❤️

Hi perk
Yes my onc reduced my Ponatinib as soon as my numbers got good.  
It’s so hard to know what to do.  We are scared to take mds but know we will

Re: [CMLHope] Breathing Difficulties [Dasatinib]

2018-07-28 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
I need to clarify my post. My hubby had heart disease and I am the one with the 
cml. 
I never had the breathing problems with Dasatinib but it is a side effect and 
could be a lung problem.  
That is why I said don’t wait to get advice on what to do. 
It quit working for me after 4 years and I was put on Ponatinib.   
Read your leaflet that came with your meds very carefully.  Make sure you 
aren’t taking a medicine that might interfere with dasatinib but report this to 
your onc right away. 
Good luck.

Re: [CMLHope] Breathing Difficulties [Dasatinib]

2018-07-28 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi there
You may need oxygen. They gave my husband the choice of oxygen or not since he 
was borderline.  I wish we had opted for but we didn’t.  I don’t think I would 
wait for drs visit. Get it checked now. 
Just my opinion. 
Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] Bosulif and high blood pressure

Hi Ann
I have high blood pressure. 
I’ve been in tki for years. I have tried all the blood pressure pills with no 
luck. They all make my heart hurt.  He is probably under a lot of stress. Try 
yoga and other calming exercises.  
They help some.

2018-07-24 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
The pink lilies are miracles sent to me by my mother who has away years ago.  
I found some lilies on the side of my property in the shade. There was only one 
lily. I told my son to plant it in the sun. The property is lined with old 
southern oaks and not much sun but he did. 
They started multiplying over the years and I didn’t think much of them. Then 
one day my son yelled, “Mom look!”  There were two large stalks of the pink 
lilies you saw. They kept blooming for about a month. I felt my mom in those 
lilies.  Now I thought they weren’t going to bloom this year but all of a 
sudden they were there. 
Such a beautiful pink and smell so good. 
I hope you enjoyed them. 
18’s to Marty
Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] Thyroid dosage?

2018-07-24 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Thank you Joyce 
Yes I was wrong about dosage. It was 0.05mg
I took a whole 5o this morning but I’m sweating really bAd and shaking.   
So I’m going back to half. 
I woke up a few months ago and my right finger was numb.  
Anyone have that?

[CMLHope] Thyroid issues hair loss?

2018-07-19 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Yes that’s the drug I was put on. I had noticed my hair was falling out and I 
was so sleepy and tired. My PCd took a blood test and found it. 
Did your hair fall out and if it did did it start coming back in? Thanks

2018-07-17 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi everyone
My daughter is flying to Turkey for a Persian wedding tomorrow. Please pray for 
her and family. 
I found out the reason they are all going to Turkey is that it is a neutral 
country that Persians and Americans can all meet in without a lot of 
regulations. I thought that was very interesting. 
I would be there but I had already made other plans and that is a long airplane 
ride. 
Anybody been to Turkey?
That is where the seven churches mentioned in the revelations in the New 
Testament are located. They even have a tour for them.
How exciting!!!
Keep positive and love is the best thing of all. 
18’s to Marty.

I sure wish I could but I don’t do any socializing anymore. 
I’m away a lot with my daughters and it’s enough for me 
I don’t cook either. 
It’s funny, that used to be my life, cooking and eating. I had 5 children so 
you can imagine the cooking I did. 
Now I let the kids do it.

Didn’t know you could. There is a red flower that I call the Florida hibiscus

sweet juice from the flower.

Awe!  I didn’t know that. So far so good but those big red ants have taken over 
my yard and I’m sure killed my Japanese plum trees. 
Also my fruit trees are in bad shape. Could be same thing. 
I’m like you just go with it. I try not to plant things that need a lot of 
watering.

2018-07-15 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi
That’s cute
When I first started dating my hubby I was 16. When we went to leave I hugged 
and kissed my mom and dad goodbye. He told me later he had never seen that 
before.  His mom and dad never hugged or kissed him.  It was just the way we 
were. 
Kiss goodbye and kiss hello.  
Same way with my kids. I tell them a hug is better than a pill. 
How are you today?
I’m waiting on my daughter as she will take me to a late lunch. 
I find my appetite not as good as it used to be. How bout you?
I loved Millie’s cooking and recipes.  I sure do miss her. 
She fought hard. 
I remember when she started losing the use of her arms she said she didn’t know 
what she would do if she couldn’t do her sewing and etc. 
though I never met her I felt I knew her all my life. More later——

Hi Richard and all
I take Ponatinib and one of the main side effects is stroke and blood clots 
along with many more. I knew this going in and since I was in blast I knew I 
had to do something. 
My onc advised an aspirin daily which I take. So far it is all working. Blood 
counts are good however I was just diagnosed with a Thyroid problem. My tsh is 
13. Anyone else have this?
I am very tired with weight loss and sweats at any time.   I am taking a small 
dose of thyroid med.  
when you are 80 you never know if it’s just old age or what. 
Listen to your body and do what you feel is right.  My mother and grandmother 
both had strokes when they were my age. Also s sister and aunt.

2018-07-10 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi all
I had this problem when on Tasigna. My hmg dropped to 8. I argued with my onc 
as I didn’t want someone else’s blood in me. I knew if he would take me off the 
tasigna the hbg would come back up. He finally talked me into it and I had to 
stay for hours getting transfusions. As most of you know not fun. Tasigna about 
killed me and I landed back in the hospital until I could talk my doctor into 
giving me Sprycel. I decided to make the move to Moffitt and never regretted 
it. 
Good luck to everyone.  Take it Day by day and as my granddaughter says, “every 
little thing’s gonna be alright.”

Hi all
Actually my mother was called Jean but I never have been. Don’t know why I 
signed it that way. My mom liked the song Jeanie with the light brown hair and 
she named me Jeanie. As for my hair it has fallen out a lot but I still have 
some. Pictures later.

Re: [CMLHope] My thought of the day

2018-05-24 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi Marty and all.  
Sometimes when I read your post I cannot believe that they are written by 
someone who has been through all you have. 
I never thought I would make it through cml because Gleevec through every side 
effect it had in me and then some. I started a diary to God and wrote in it 
daily. I hadn’t found a good list at that time and it seemed the list I was in 
was always telling me I needed aspecialist and downing the onc I had and they 
could have been right but it was not uplifting to me.  I finally left the list. 
Then I found this one through Millie. Do you remember Millie?  She wrote me 
daily uplifting post telling me about her life in PA and since I’m from FL I 
enjoyed them so much. She was so active and if she got to feeling too bad she 
would tell me would take care of it in a few minutes. She was on all kinds of 
pain pills and had to take them daily. She used her hands doing handiwork and 
then her muscles in her arms started to wear down. She worked so hard with a 
therapist even though she was hurting so bad. Even then she wrote her uplifting 
post. 
As you all know I have been in blast 3 times having to change tki’s but think 
I’ve finally found the one that did the job however with leukemia you never 
know when it will raise its ugly head. Most of you here know what I am talking 
about 
Anyway Marty and all keep writing. You never know when that one post will be 
the one that saves someone’s life. 
Love ya
💋💋

Hi Marty and all
So good to hear from you but sorry
To hear about your cancer on nose

I think I told you about my sister having a small mole on her ankle that turned 
out to be cancer she had to have skin grafted on and it turned out to be a 
weekly visit to Moffitt. 
Yes sometimes we have to take something just to get some rest. 
Your courage inspires me to keep going. Remember Millie? No matter what she 
could always make me smile. How brave she was at the end. 
How are you Beth and all. Let’s hear from everyone.

Hi Marty
First I want to tell you that I love you because you
Lift my heart as do all of you on this list. 
Yes this was my fourth tki and probably 
My last chance as far as tki’s are 
Concerned.   The Sprycel I had been
On for four years was great as long 
As it lasted.  
Yes my onc told me to go right 
To the eye dr bit other than needing
Far vision glasses they seem to
Be okay.  Moffitt is great but they
Won’t take care of your pain. 
I thought that was weird. They have
Two big pain centers there
And wouldn’t take me. Told me to
Go to a pain clinic. 
Had a wonderful day today. 
Was reading the Bible on kisses 
Today and it’s interesting. 
Our family kissed hello and goodby. 
Probably handed down from generations. 
Google kisses and Bible. 
Prayers to all and Holy kisses.

Hi Marty and all
I am so glad you told me about what to expect from a stroke. As they run in our 
family I will know what to expect. 
My chemo was taken off the market at first because of heart attacks and blood 
clots. They then decide it would do more good than bad so they put it back on. 
I know it had me in remission in three months. 
Look up Ponatinib and you will see what I mean. 
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers on this group. I started my family when I 
was 18 and had 5 babies in 10 years. Those were the busiest years of my life 
and  I enjoyed every minute of them. 
My youngest daughter and her daughter are picking me up for lunch.  
Have a great day everyone.

Hi Beth and all 
I know exactly what you mean Beth.  Sometimes I just want to go back to bed and 
do nothing. 
I have found however if you make a plan of what you want to accomplish that day 
it helps a lot. Even write it down.  Start on it even if you don’t feel like 
finishing it.  
One time I made a plan to read the Bible again all the way through. I have read 
it before but this was just another plan. So each day I read a little and soon 
I had accomplished my plan. Well not soon but I did it. 
Getting through Job is difficult but well worth it especially since he fought 
disease daily. He had boils all over his body. Can you imagine!
I love the part where it got to Leviathan.   My granddaughter even drew me a 
picture of him.  
Now today is walking and gardening as long as I feel like it. If I get tired or 
weary I just rest.  
I remember when I was in the hospital and they wheeled that big old blood 
cleansing machine in my room I was in for it. They would hook it up and I had 
to my still for about 4 hours while my blood ran through this machine. I 
thought it would never be over.  It never did any good. The next day my 
platelets and whites were right back up. I learned from Moffitt they don’t even 
do that. They just give you the pills and hope for the best.  
This last chemo Ponatinib has been the best chemo yet with the least side 
effects except for hair falling out. 
What do you take?  I developed mutants to all the other chemo
Just each day at a time and make a plan. Prayers. 
You have helped me a lot Beth.

Hi Beth and great news. Are you any pain?  Marty I wanted to asked you if you 
they gave you any meds for pain?  Did you ever have to take anything for 
leukemia ever again? Can you walk well?  
My daughter bought me a wheel chair just in case I get to tired of walking.  
Do you walk well Beth?
So happy you are in remission.   I’m in remission too but I know from 
experience how leukemia can test it’s ugly head. 
Prayer and pills is my motto and it’s working. 
Good luck
Jean

Hi Joyce
So glad to hear from you and to know your hubby is good. Can he walk?  If he 
can walk some twice a day. That will help with the weight.  
I have been trying to garden some. Can’t hold out to long.  
Moffitt visit was kk. They turned me over to a nurse practitioner.  Is that 
natural if you lose your doctor. Maxine Extraman is my dr but I didn’t see her. 
I’m not to happy about that. Do any of you see practitioners ?
Oh well, not to much they can do at this point. My blood is good. 
My daughter rented a beautiful mountain cabin for June.  Grand Smokies 
Mountains. Can’t wait. We took our kids to the mountains every summer when they 
were growing up. It is beautiful. Pray that my health stays good enough to go.  
Thanks.  
Love to you all. 
Still out there Norm?  
Let’s hear from all.

Re: [CMLHope] Beth muscle issues

2018-04-05 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Thank you so much and sorry for waiting so long to answer.  
As you know I have been suffering with pain under my right rib for years now. 
In 2009 I was switched from gleevec to tasing a. The pain under my rib 
increased and my onc At that time gave me tramadol. It seemed to help for a 
while. The. I went out of remission and had to be hospitalized while they 
cleansed my blood. I kept asking my onc to put me on spyrcel but he wasn’t 
familiar with the drug and kept refusing. A nurse that had worked at Moffitt 
finally convinced him to do so. About this time I decided I needed to go to 
Moffitt. 
So after getting my sprycel I got an appointment with Dr Balducci at Moffitt.  
Sprycel put me in remission for 4 years and then developed a mutant. The newest 
thing out was Ponatinib and he put me in that. It put me back in remission in 3 
Months. But on this drug my right side pain became unbearable and my onc put me 
on oxycodone. I had every test available if they ant find  cause of the pain so 
my only choice is to treat the pain. 
Then the pain in my right pinky started and went to my elbow waking me up at 
night in terrible pain. Sometimes burning in my feet and pain also. 
Dr Balducci has retired and I now have his colleague Dr Martine Extermann but 
only met with her once.  
I am just trying to work through this pain and keep active when I can. 
Faith and pills is my motto. I will be 80 soon. My daughter is giving me a pool 
party with all family. 5 children 14 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. 
I am so blessed. 
I lost my hubby of 42 years in 1998 from diabetes and heart problems. 
Thanks for uplifting me and keep up the good work. I pray for your body to 
heal. 
Blessing

Hi my little sweetheart Marty. You are such an uplift to me. Surviving cml at a 
time when the odds were against you and then fight for your life with those 
kidneys.  I know a church member who tripped on a rug in a favorite restaurant 
and broke his neck and he died. So God wants you around to help the way you do. 
You are a light to anyone who knows you. 
What are you able to do physically?
I don't care much for tv so I read a lot, walk a little and garden a little. My 
mother broke her leg when she was my age and never walked again. Gotta be 
careful walking. So easy to trip and fall. 
Keep us all in your prayers.

Hi Susan
It's been so good hearing from all of you. I would ask the group if we could 
hear a word from each of you to let us know where you are in your fight. 
I would also like to bless all the ones who fought hard but are resting in 
Heaven now.  
Norm, are you there?  Let us know. 
I guess John is gone from us. He was on Ponatinib but not doing well on it.

[CMLHope] Beth muscle issues

2018-03-11 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope

Hi sweet Beth
So glad to hear from you and get our uplifts we so badly need. 
I sprained my muscle in the top part of my right leg and it really hurt.  Then 
my bones a muscles started to wake me up at night. I get up and massage them. I 
was wondering if you are under a doctors care for the muscles and what they 
told you to do for pain and all. 
I take Ponatinib and have for 3 years this Jan. 
I limped for about a week but it's gradually getting better I don't think I 
could work but I am 80 years young in May.  
Looking forward to your advice.  
I still walk and do some house work and gardening.  
Love you so very much.

Re: [CMLHope] My annual appreciation day

2018-02-22 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Oh no Joyce,
I am so sorry. Had you been hurting?  I have been in pain now for a long time 
and many years later they have found nothing. I think I'm scared because many 
years ago my brother who was in his late 50s went in for exploratory surgery 
and they found a tumors cancer. He died not long after. 
When I went in the hospital in May they still did test but found nothing.  
The nurse would come in the evening and give me a shot in tummy. She said it 
was to keep blood from clotting.  And you got clots anyway. 
That was a lot of surgery for one time. You sure are strong. So happy for you. 
Do you go to a cancer center?  I've been thinking about changing since my dr 
retired.  It's hard to change when you've been with someone so long. 
They gave me morphine in my Iv tube every 4 hours.  It helped some but nothing 
has really taken this pain away. 
When they took my gall bladder out years ago the dr said my appendix was 
setting right on top of everything so he took it out too. All this happened 
when I was in late 40s.   My dad has his out too at that age. I think it's 
amazing how our bodies have some of the same traits as our parents. My mom died 
at 87 but I don't think I'll make it as she never had any deadly diseases. 
More later

[CMLHope] Hey there

2018-02-19 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope

Hey Joyce
Wow!  You have really been through the mill. So happy you made it through. You 
and I are about the same age and that it the reason I never pushed for surgery. 
Sounds like you are well on the way to recovery.  
I would have it done if I could get up the nerve. I have been in the hospital 
but no doctor ever pushed for surgery.  
We are warriors and MArty is our faithful leader so let's just keep fighting a 
good battle. 
Do you have to go to the dr much Marty?
I go every three months to Moffitt and a couple month to my PCd.  
I pray Joyce that all will be alright. Are you bed ridden ?
Keep fighting.

2018-02-18 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope

So sorry to hear about all your problems. Did you get good care?  I have 
umbelical hernia. Been afraid to get it fixed.  Anyone had this fixed?
Mine happened due to umbelical surgery twice from gallbladder and getting tubes 
tied.  Just weakened the area. I wish I had had it fixed when I was younger.  
I live in the outskirts of Orlando. It's close to my daughters.  
Does anyone have any idea which type of dr I should see ?
I don't drink. Smoke. Overeat,and live a healthy lifestyle.  Pray for all 
Love you so very much 
Jeanie

2018-02-18 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi all
I was wondering about gout as my father and brother had it but this is the 
first time I've had this. My fathers big toe was swollen and was hurting so 
bad. 
Have any of you tried Voltaren cream?  It helps a lot but you need a 
prescription. 
I was drinking a coke a day and thought this might be it but quit and still 
hurt. 
Could be the Ponatinib.   I never had it with the other tki's.   Keep praying 
my warrior group.  
Thanks

Re: [CMLHope] My annual appreciation day

2018-02-18 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Thanks Sweetheart
Those were beautiful.  You always brighten our day. 
I have been in so much pain lately and don't know if I should go to a dr or 
not. It started in my little right finger and then creeped on up my arm.  Now 
my heel and sometimes ankles are killing me.  The pain usually wakes me up 
nightly. I get up and massage it good.  Do any of my warriors suggest another 
dr?
Anyway I loved the video and appreciation day is a wonderful idea. My blood 
work show no leukemia.  My pain is probably old age and the answer more pills. 
Do any of you have this. It clears up during the day most of the time.  
My new dr seems to be kk. I haven't met with her that much yet. I guess the 
next step would be to try and get off pills. There are trials for that. 
Have a wonderful day everyone. 
Love you so very much

Re: [CMLHope] off Sprycel

2018-02-02 Thread &#x27;Jeanie' via CMLHope
Hi Beth
So good to hear from you. I have a new oncologist at Moffitt and they are 
moving our entire unit to another out patient building close to the Moffitt 
hospital.  
I go to a pain clinic as my onc at Moffitt wouldn't write my pain meds anymore. 
I was upset about it as it means more dr visits and more dr bills. 
The DEA has the dr afraid to write pain meds.  I wonder if anyone else on this 
group are on pain meds?   Would be a help to me to know if possible. 
Beautiful weather on its way in Florida. 
My daughter booked us a cabin in the mountains for the summer.  The Great 
Smokey Mountains. It is beautiful in June. Can't wait. 
Also going to take in St Augustine in March.  
My youngest son want to retire in Melborne Fl when he retires. 
Blessings
