[ ] Hello Happiness! lLttle motherly pride and Hope Always!

Good morning everyone,

I'm not new to the cancer, I was diagnosed in Sept of 01, but I AM a

new mom. YaY!

I was sitting here thinging today that I haven't had contact with

any of my groups for litteraly years and my ego and pride in my new

little girl prompted me too find a group.

For us good news and hope should be shared! I just happen to have

some to share.

I've been on gleevec for three and a half years,BRCA/ABL at 0 for

three. I got preggers 'cause I was lazy and didn't get a birth

control renewal fast enough about this time last year.

Early March I found out I was preggers, I was taken off the gleevec.

This November na was born, alittle early but bright, healthy

and happy.

My BRCA/ABL stayed at 0 and 1 counts the entire time. I breast fed

her for two and half months but caution is haveing me start the

gleevec again this month soi she's on formula now.

So that is my ego boost as I brag of my little one and I hope that

if any of you were feeling cruddy today that it helps.

There is always hope and there is always new life!

Hello Emy,

Congratulations to you! How wonderful that you have a brand new baby

girl. That is great news.

So you have been off of Gleevec for close to 10 months now? Where

are you getting treated? I ask, because this year at ASH there were

a couple of posters about women who had gotten pregnant and went back

on Gleevec afterwards and completly regained their remissions.

I'll admit that being off Gleevec for that length of time probably

isn't for the " faint of heart " shall we say - but good for you.

Keep us posted on your situation, and maybe if you get around to it,

send us a picture.

Blessings,

Cheryl-Anne

Morning!

Yes about 10 months now off the gleevec. I hope that it all stays

compleatly gone and there is no post baby flare-up at all.

I am being seen by the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, a Doctor

Hendrey. He's an awesome doctor... the whole of Fred Hutch and SCCA

have been super in my care and support.

The one thing that REALY mad me mad about getting CML was that with

the " cure " , the stem cell transplant, I'd more than likely never get

the chance to have children. Gleevec may not be the best thing in the

world to take when you conceve and the side effects can be pretty

bad, but damn it's great stuff.

I loaded up a pic of us. lol I should give you a better one of her.

She's a character.

*hugs*

Thanks Emy! I appreciate that uplift. I have been feeling very down about not

being able to have any more children of late so that realy helps me.

Thank you,

Emy,

If I may ask, what sort of birth control were you on that you hadn't got

refilled? I was told I could not use birth control pills because of the

gleevec.
