Hi Susie,

Thank you for your kind words. I pray that you will make it into the

trial.

Hi Tracey and ..

I to believe in this group, Zavie has been a tower of strenght to me

through my trials with gleevec. But i do beg to differ in your

comment when saying about our doctors spending their time seeing cml

patients and going to comferences as well as how many cml patients

they have. I see Tim as many people know, he sees far more

than 1 or 2 patients and yes he does go to many conferences and

specialises in cml. Im sure that he isnt the only Oncolagist that

does this. I think we need to becauful in knocking other doctors as

they are the ones that go to the uni for many years and yes they can

be wrong and that is why we have this group so we can and share our

differences. As far as you saying tracey about being told to get

life in order...well thats the very first thing Tim told me yet you

all think him as a wonderful Oncologist. So some doctors may feel

that way and its not up to us to make judement on the way they treat

their patients we just have to be here for them when they want to

talk about it. I too get concerned how some people go on this

message board, you would think that they were the Oncologist. I

think we need to be careful in answering and giving advice sometimes

the way we answer comes across very harsh and with a closed mind..

My motto is if i place a question and i get a answer from zavie or

who ever i go with the flow and if it feels good i take it on if not

then i ditch it. And as much as I think zavie is great and has been

my strength and his heart is to be there and help many others ... he

knows that there has been some advice he has given me which ive not

agreed with, we just talk it through. I think its a free world and

we are all entitled to our say but its up to us as individuals how

we receive it.

Im not in this reply going against zavie (hes my mate) but there has

been many post from other people that replied to me that ive not

agreed and their answers come across as there way is the only way...
