Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Greetings Wonderful news!!! Personally I do flushes every two weeks at the earliest. What you are doing with the flush has been said to be like major surgery!! If the desire is there and the strength also...It might be worth a try. But I am not sure about it!!! Good luck what ever you decide. yours in good health nieema --- ccordell1 <cscordell@...> wrote: > > Thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate > it.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Greetings All When I state " Major Surgery " I am referring to the way that s Moritz puts it. On page 104 " Remember, your liver and gallbladder underwent major surgery, albeit without harmful side effects. " And when I really look at what is going on with the body when I are doing the cleanse, I can see how that could be true. Yes, there is not the pain and the recovery time as in the bloody type, but it is still major happenings to the body!!! Just my two cents Good health and the means to maintain it. nieema --- " Meydrech, CN " <journey2health@...> wrote: > > > Personally I do flushes every two weeks at the > > earliest. > > > > What you are doing with the flush has been said to > > be > > like major surgery!! > > Wow, I hadn't heard a description that extreme, but > maybe some are in such bad condition they would feel > that tired after...but think it's rare.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Again, You will continue to be amazed at how nice people are. I remember when I was first diagnosed, I told one of my friends and told her to tell the rest of our friends because it was a bit hard for me at that time to go over the story over and over again so I had her do my " dirty work " for me. Well not long after everyone found out, I started receiving cards, phone calls and meals for my family. I actually had a freezer FULL of meals from everyone who wanted to help out. I was totally flabbergasted at how kind everyone was...some who I barely knew. It was very heart warming. Ask your doctor about going out and being with your friends because as long as your ANC (absolute neutrophil count) is above 1, you shouldn't have any issues with your immune system at all. Obviously if one of your friends has the flu, you'll want to avoid them for a while but I don't see any reason why you should restrict your social life as long as your counts are in the safe range. Keep up the great attitude! Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Adrienne, Welcome to the club that nobody really wants to be a member of. I am thrilled that you found us. Up until the development of Gleevec, CML was a pretty serious disease. Today it is considered a chronic disease and there is every reason to expect that you will live a normal life. Based on all the exciting new developments for the treatment of CML, I expect that there will be a cure developed within 15 years. Maybe I am being optimistic, but I expect to see one in my lifetime. There are many wonderful success stories out there. You might want to visit Zammett's blog at http://www.glamour.com/lifestyle/blogs/editor is a CML patient and has written a book " My (So-Called) Normal Life " . She is one of the editors of Glamour Magazine. She recently got pregnant and gives us a blow by blow description of her journey. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We have all been down this path and are happy to help. I don't know where you live, but I can tell you that one of the most rewarding things that you can do is to meet up with some other CML patients.

Tel: 613-726-1117 Fax: 309-296-0807 Cell: 613-202-0204 ID: zaviem [ ] Thank you everyone! Wow I'm like completely surprised at how nice people are. Thank you for all of the responses. And I do feel honored to be the youngest posting member =]. Three hours after I found out I had a crying session with my mom but after that I was optomistic. I'm very involved in my church so my faith helped me soooooooooooooo much. I also surprised everyone with my attitude. It just became hard when I got home from thehosptial though because I am a teenaged girl. I love hanging out with my friends from youth group. I'm a social person. So you can imagine that it's hard for me to have to sit in my home while my immune system builds up again. So right now my biggest problem is patience. But I have a lot of things to keep me busy like scrapbooking, reading my Bible and doing devotionals, support groups, and eventually a tutor for school. So the time should pass. Thank you all so much! Hi my name is Adrienne. I was diagnosed with CML march 9th so about two weeks ago. I'm a 15 year old girl so that is pretty uncommon. I've been having dizzy spells since november. My doctor originally thought it was stress. I continued getting dizzy spells so on march 1st we called the doctor to get an appointment. The day after we got the appointment, I noticed that my whole left side of my stomach was hard when I pushed on it. I thought it was a tumor. Well we went to the doctor and as soon as he felt my stomach he wanted me to get blood work done and a catscan. I gave the blood and went to a hospital to get my catscan. The catscan showed I had an enlarged spleen. We had no idea why so we waited for the bloodwork to come back. Meanwhile I went home. My parents and I were watching a movie and I fell asleep. At 11 PM the doctor called and wanted me to go to the hospital immediately. I was freaked out. On the way, my parents told me that the blood work showed that I had way too many white blood cells. I'm a sophomore in high school. I knew that meant cancer. So I became scared. The next morning it was official. I have CML. Thank the Lord for Gleevac though. When I went into the hospital my WBC count was 265,000 and two days ago it was 30,000. I was in the hospital for about a week and a half. I'm home now though. It's pretty hard to adjust though. It's really weird to think " I'm a cancer patient " . I just need people to talk to who understand what I'm going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
