Re: Thank you EVERYONE!

[Guest guest]

Greetings

Wonderful news!!!

Personally I do flushes every two weeks at the

earliest.

What you are doing with the flush has been said to be

like major surgery!!

If the desire is there and the strength also...It

might be worth a try. But I am not sure about it!!!

Good luck what ever you decide.

yours in good health

Greetings All

When I state " Major Surgery " I am referring to the way

that s Moritz puts it.

On page 104 " Remember, your liver and gallbladder

underwent major surgery, albeit without harmful side

effects. "

And when I really look at what is going on with the

body when I are doing the cleanse, I can see how that

could be true. Yes, there is not the pain and the

recovery time as in the bloody type, but it is still

major happenings to the body!!!

Just my two cents

Good health and the means to maintain it.

Hi Again,

You will continue to be amazed at how nice people are. I remember when

I was first diagnosed, I told one of my friends and told her to tell

the rest of our friends because it was a bit hard for me at that time

to go over the story over and over again so I had her do my " dirty

work " for me.

Well not long after everyone found out, I started receiving cards,

phone calls and meals for my family. I actually had a freezer FULL of

meals from everyone who wanted to help out. I was totally

flabbergasted at how kind everyone was...some who I barely knew. It

was very heart warming.

Ask your doctor about going out and being with your friends because as

long as your ANC (absolute neutrophil count) is above 1, you shouldn't

have any issues with your immune system at all. Obviously if one of

your friends has the flu, you'll want to avoid them for a while but I

don't see any reason why you should restrict your social life as long

as your counts are in the safe range.

Keep up the great attitude!

Hi Adrienne,

Welcome to the club that nobody really wants to be a member of. I am

thrilled that you found us.

Up until the development of Gleevec, CML was a pretty serious disease. Today

it is considered a chronic disease and there is every reason to expect that

you will live a normal life. Based on all the exciting new developments for

the treatment of CML, I expect that there will be a cure developed within 15

years. Maybe I am being optimistic, but I expect to see one in my lifetime.

There are many wonderful success stories out there. You might want to visit

Zammett's blog at http://www.glamour.com/lifestyle/blogs/editor

is a CML patient and has written a book " My (So-Called) Normal Life " .

She is one of the editors of Glamour Magazine. She recently got pregnant and

gives us a blow by blow description of her journey.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We have all been down this

path and are happy to help.

I don't know where you live, but I can tell you that one of the most

rewarding things that you can do is to meet up with some other CML patients.

Here's looking to enroll you in the Zero Club real soon,

[ ] Thank you everyone!

Wow I'm like completely surprised at how nice people are. Thank you

for all of the responses. And I do feel honored to be the youngest

posting member =]. Three hours after I found out I had a crying

session with my mom but after that I was optomistic. I'm very involved

in my church so my faith helped me soooooooooooooo much. I also

surprised everyone with my attitude. It just became hard when I got

home from thehosptial though because I am a teenaged girl. I love

hanging out with my friends from youth group. I'm a social person. So

you can imagine that it's hard for me to have to sit in my home while

my immune system builds up again. So right now my biggest problem is

patience. But I have a lot of things to keep me busy like

scrapbooking, reading my Bible and doing devotionals, support groups,

and eventually a tutor for school. So the time should pass.

Thank you all so much!

Hi my name is Adrienne. I was diagnosed with CML march 9th so about two

weeks ago. I'm a 15 year old girl so that is pretty uncommon.

I've been having dizzy spells since november. My doctor originally thought

it was stress. I continued getting dizzy spells so on march 1st we called

the doctor to get an appointment. The day after we got the appointment, I

noticed that my whole left side of my stomach was hard when I pushed on it.

I thought it was a tumor. Well we went to the doctor and as soon as he felt

my stomach he wanted me to get blood work done and a catscan. I gave the

blood and went to a hospital to get my catscan. The catscan showed I had an

enlarged spleen. We had no idea why so we waited for the bloodwork to come

back. Meanwhile I went home. My parents and I were watching a movie and I

fell asleep. At 11 PM the doctor called and wanted me to go to the hospital

immediately. I was freaked out. On the way, my parents told me that the

blood work showed that I had way too many white blood cells. I'm a sophomore

in high school. I knew that meant cancer. So I became scared. The next

morning it was official. I have CML. Thank the Lord for Gleevac though. When

I went into the hospital my WBC count was 265,000 and two days ago it was

30,000. I was in the hospital for about a week and a half. I'm home now

though. It's pretty hard to adjust though. It's really weird to think " I'm a

cancer patient " .

I just need people to talk to who understand what I'm going through.
