Breast Cancer Cml Today Colon Cancer

July 24, 2006

My sister was diagnosed 4 years ago with breast cancer and had a

successful mastectomy followed by chemo. Two years ago, she was

diagnosed with CML (age 65) and has been doing very well on Gleevec.

Today, she was given the sad news that she has colon cancer. We do not

know what stage it isuntil the surgery. Is there anyone out there who

has had two/three cancers..and were they able to take chemo while on

Gleevec?

I am very curious about this, since radiation and chemo are usually

the follow-up to surgery.

I would appreciate any words of wisdom today.

Thanks you,

Dear ????,

I do believe I have read other postings about multiple cancers.....I know

some had breast cancer and radiation years before getting CML.....but I

think some have posted about new cancers post CML. If you have not already

done so, you might post on several CML lists. To find a complete list and

link to most of these lists, go to Jerry's site

post on CML Discussion

then look toward the top of that page for the other CML lists.

I hope your sister gets good news from after her colon surgery.

C.
