First, I cannot tell you how glad I am that I found this group. When I

was diagnosed in February 2008, it was during the presurgery testing

they were doing so I could donate a kidney to my husband. I found out

that I had CML, but because of my husband's illness, I didn't really

learn as much about CML as I would have normally. Now that my husband

has a new kidney courtesy of our 20 year old son, I can have time to

learn about CML. I read what someone says and think yea, someone else

understands!

As far as side effects, I will have days that I have none. Then there

are days when everything hits. I do experience nausea (especially in

the morning). Some days I will have swelling especially in my hands.

For the past few days, my legs have ached especially around my knees. I

also bruise if someone looks at me. I have never had a blood blister

though. I am tired as my red blood count is low due to the medication.

I feel blessed though because at my doctor's appointment last week, the

final results of my bone marrow came in - the genetic part of the

testing. I am genetically in remission. I already knew that I went

from 150% to .15% positve for CML but this was the icing on the cake.

Blood work every 4 weeks versus every 2 weeks! Thanks for all of the

support.
