Hi ,

Yes I was keeping this number for a special person. I didn't know who, but

Lottie certainly filled the bill.

In the early days when I first started STI571 everyone gave me HOPE when

they achieved CCR.

Lottie has given all the CML Turtles this same HOPE.

When I asked Lottie what number she would like to have, she said 1000. At

the time I told her that the next number in the CML Zero Club would be 1293

knowing full well that number 1000 had not yet been assigned. It was my

surprise and my gift to her.

Hi Zavie - have you been keeping this number especially for our precious

'turtle'?

Hope all you guys are safe with the cold, while we swelter in 40c+ weather.

Amen for our swimming pool and A/C.

O!!! YIPPEEE!!!

Number 1000 in the Zero Club

Zavie

Another TURTLE crosses the finnish line.

The message is: Never Give Up. The TKI SKI-606 is the one that did it for

her.

It was a thrill to meet Lottie and Jimmy at ASH in early December. We had

the best time. Check out the photos of this intimate gathering at ASH on the

website. The patients were represented by Lottie, Giora, Jan and

myself. Epstein and Harout Semerjian were there from Novartis. Pat

- and Schwartz from the Max Foundation. Our CML expert,

Dr. Moishe Talpaz from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and our

caregiver supreme, Jimmy Duthu from New Orleans..

Sorry for taking so long to post. I finally got my send email problem fixed.

Zavie (In sunny Florida brrr)

I just opened my emails late this afternoon and found one from MDACC.

20 out of 20 normal diploids was the message. O.K. Zavie, now you can get

your megaphone out and I want my number sprinkled with stardust if that is

not too much trouble. Now there is a project, printing Zero numbers on

T-shirts. Zavie has his on his cap and he's never without it, but I don't

look so good in a hat. LOL Just wanted to share my good news, I waited 14.5

years to claim it and announce it.

Another FYI,

Lottie Duthu
