Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Hello , We were diagnosed on the same day - 5 years ago! WOW! They told me that day I had about 6-8 years left to live... but I never believed them <big grin>. There are now many memorable dates in my past: March 23, 2000 - CML diagnosis day March 24, 2000 - learned how to self-inject interferon May 10, 2001 - Gleevec was FDA approved June 3, 2001 - took my first Gleevec dose Sept 17, 2001 - BMB results showed NO BCR/ABL and 0 PH+ cells! April 13, 2002 - got married to my best friend. Dec 13, 2004 - walked/ran my first 1/2 marathon and I wasn't dead last in my age group either. May we all continue to mark our memorable days for a long time to come. There's a reason we are all here on this continued journey called 'LIFE'. To your good blood, Gale Bacon Quote
