Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Rob and welcome to the group. I had to laugh at your signature. I am forever having to stop to think and forgetting where to start up again. There's nothing to " put up with " as we are all in the same boat in one way or another. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Fibromyalgia (FMS)......Doreen > > I am new to the group and have fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Bobby is right (as always). There are tons of great folks always willing to share info, support, and a few jokes from time to time. Be forewarned the humor is sometimes very punny. Seriously, there is a wealth of experience and info among the members. CML and all cancer is laden with fear and trembling, but there are folks here living with the disease for many decades. Have hope and be encouraged. Let us know what you need. Welcome.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi to you Sounds like your husband has great support You need it too !! These guys have huge and generous hearts and share info - so just post away any questions - it does not matter if it seems trivial to you - it may help your husband just on hints ; suggestions and further understanding. Don't forget one can have a great life with CML (just have boundaries at times of what can do or if not well at times) Most important thing is for your husband to keep taking those tablets do not have a day off as that is the key to good health with CML What medication and dosage is your husband on and health at present?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 hi there everybody..my husband works as a policeman and we do not know really where and why did he acquired this illness , he has been diagnosed with CML last 2002 and my God as I remember those times as if heaven was falling upon us with the expensive laboratories and medications but we never lost hope, thanks to some people who never forsaken us, slowly he gained confidence again of himself and until now he is still doing fine and active in his job, thanks to glivec and his hematologist and his DOCTOR above.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 , Which of the four BPES-related groups on Facebook is it? Probably not the 'Kent' one, OK, but shat still leaves three. I can't see why there needs to be more than 1.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Rob: I agree there only needs to be one BPES group on facebook. I am guilty (I think) of inadvertently creating the 2nd one. I did a search and somehow did not see the first one. I created it and very quickly realized there was in fact one already. I then went in to try to delete or get rid of the group that I had created and was unable to figure out how to do it. I will revisit this and try to make the one I created inactive or something.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 THE Â only way to delete your group in full is to first delete the members then go in and delete yourself as a member, it will then give you the option to delete the group, if you do not delete everyone before yourself it will just keep the group and give other members a chance to take over so if you want to get rid of it this is the way to do it Tonikka & Chriscanadaneed a photographer?tmareephotography.comtmareephotography.blogspot.comspecial occasion? wedding?updotoyou.com On 18-Feb-09, at 7:33 AM, Anne Weber wrote:Rob:I agree there only needs to be one BPES group on facebook.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I am pretty new here too and I am taking care of my husband who has CML and was recently diagnosed. Sorry that you got the news about your daughter but the good news (as I have found out) is that CML is the one Leukemia that can be helped. Gleevec has helped bring my husband's white blood cell count down and his oncologist is wonderfully optimistic about his prognosis. You have come to the right place for support. The people here are awesome and are loaded with helpful information or just a shoulder to lean on. Take care and just hang in there, everything will get better. Hugs Judy Z. From: H <duane36_1999@...> Subject: [ ] Hello Date: Monday, March 23, 2009, 9:27 PM Hi,  I am new to the group and as I am sure you are aware new members probably tend to have received some unfortunate news about a CML diagnosis recently. Well my daughter just found out she had CML over the weekend and we are still getting used to the idea of it. I appreciate the forum you started.  Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hi : Please get involved in our group. Don't just check the posts. We have so many people all ages,and from all over the place.
