Yes Judy, 
I was off gleevec for over seven years after having brain bleeds (small strokes 
because of the medicine.) i was tested every 3 mos. all that time. I stayed in 
cellular remission but not in molecular remission. Long story but I pray 
you get to stay off  until they find a cure!! 

We are all rooting for you!!! 
Blessings and 18's,

Yes Judy.  Congratulations on a successful year off TKI's.  Yes a several 
of us have had long vacations off the TKI's.  Some of us were able to 
maintain low counts for long periods of times after the counts were noticed 
again and then went back on Gleevec.  I am now at my 14 year mark and am on 
300mg of Gleevec in Nov. I was only showing .003% on my last test on my 
test as I fight low Hemoglobin on a weekly basis.

I am glad you found your way back to join us.

Hello Peg,
So glad to hear from you!  We are tough, us CML bunch.  We can take it if you 
want to share with us the additional battles that have gone along with your 
CML.   We are here to encourage!  You don't need to suffer alone, (altho I'm 
hoping you have a good family, etc.)  Your battle could have involved fear, as 
most people would let it in.  But just to remind, fear is False Evidence 
Appearing Real, put there by the enemy.  Can you think of one thing that is 
good about fear?  Same goes for worry.  No, they are only destructive.  Many of 
us have come to the place where we know our bodies are only one third of our 
whole being, and probably the least important of the three. (body, soul and 
spirit).  So we try to let the other two rule our thinking, our outward 
actions, and so on.  I know because of your faith you walk by faith, not by 
sight!


I just thought of a good joke that came from facebook.  A big picture of a huge 
grisly bear roaring.  The caption read, "Fear NOTHING!  Except a grisly bear, 
because they will kill you."


Anyway, so glad your reports are getting better all the time. I hope you enjoy 
your days and come back to share a word with us often!  We have missed you!


18's and blessings,

Susan F. Zimmerman
"Look among the nations and watch; be utterly astounded!  For I will work a 
work in your days which you would not believe, though it were told you."  Hab.

Thanks for the update Peg..I am glad that things sound a bit more stable 
for you...I do understand about not wanting to share with others if your road 
is hard so as to not scare us, ..but truly, each of us is unique, and our 
bodies respond very differently to treatments..so, please don't worry. Getting 
good support is also key to quality of life, as it's a lot less lonely...and 
together we can persevere... I am so sorry you have had to go through all that 
you didI hope and pray that it somehow gets easier for you...wow...2 years 
at zero is marvelous, but the price you have paidI don't have words for 
that..except you are so resilient, so amazingtake good care and know that 
you are cared for and loved here...


18's, love and hugs,
Beth

Peg, that was my Aunt's name.  Anyway, don't be a stranger.  All of us that 
have CML are in the same boat but taking different drugs.  I've been on Gleevec 
16 years 1 month, yes their are side effects but done that I can't handle.  
Cramps are the worse but I'm still here driving my wife crazy and she love's 
every second of it :)

It got a bit rocky for a while, not from the CML, but along that course   they

malnutrition issues that were from a severe reaction I had to   Gleevec when I 
was first diagnosed six years ago, but now knowing what those   are we are 
slowly making improvement towards gaining back a quality of life.You can 
never underestimate the value of quality of life!  I hope   you are all finding 
your own quality, never give up on that.  You are   never far from my thoughts

that have CML are in the same boat but taking  different drugs.  I've been on 
Gleevec 16 years 1 month, yes their are side  effects but done that I can't

Hi all,
Thought I would check in today...it has been a while.  I see lots of new 
names, but still a few that I remember.  I am now two years at zero 
detectable on only 100mg of Tasigna daily...1/4th of the recommended 
dosage.  It got a bit rocky for a while, not from the CML, but along that 
course they diagnosed me with five other, assume-ably unrelated, cancers 
including skin, gastric, thyroid and lungs!  While I never lost my hope, I 
didn't wanted to dim anyone else's hope by sharing news from my scary 
corner. However, as of last month, all cancers are regressing, some we know 
for certain are also due to Tasigna, and well, the others they are not sure 
why, so I choose to believe it is also because of the Tasigna...and faith! 
 I am battling some malnutrition issues that were from a severe reaction I 
had to Gleevec when I was first diagnosed six years ago, but now knowing 
what those are we are slowly making improvement towards gaining back a 
quality of life.  You can never underestimate the value of quality of life! 
 I hope you are all finding your own quality, never give up on that.  You 
are never far from my thoughts and prayers!
