Okay, but I'm not going to answer all of them.

My kitchen plates are Corelle, with wisteria.

I'm reading " Princes of Ireland "

My favorite color is lavender, least favorite is a light icky brown.

Sometimes I sleep with a stuffed animal but mostly with a cat. His name is

Toodles and he really likes to cuddle.

The person I would most like to meet is the author, Pearl Buck.

I don't drink alcohol, won't let me if I wanted to.

I love the job I have, wouldn't trade with anyone, but I did want to be a

doctor.

Under my bed is mostly dust bunnies, and Toodles if he gets scared.

The best place I've ever seen is my home (it's no mansion) and my back

yard.

And the room where I spend the most time is the kitchen.

If you need to know anything else, just ask. Oh, my sign is Virgo.

Jessie

All about ME

I don't usually do these but I liked this one.

Okay, here's what you're supposed to do... and try not to be LAME and spoil

the fun. Just give in. Copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it

onto a new e-mail that you will send. Change all of the answers so that they

apply to you. Then, send this to a bunch of people you know

*INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you learn a

lot of little known facts about your friends and family. It's fun and easy

K,

All I can say is WOW!!! You go girl! You have such a great attitude

and you will be such an asset to this support group. Can't wait to

hear more from you

Take care,

Wow K, you sure have quite a history! It sounds like you aren't

finished by a long shot. It also sounds like you might be a

cat....lol (get it? nine lives:)

I have one question though. You said they wouldn't give you

Interferon but from what I understand, Interferon is often used to

treat hepatitis. Of course it also used to be the primary drug for

CML so I'm curious as to why they wouldn't give it to you.

Anyway, it's great to meet you,

Take care,

Tracey

Hi " K " ,

Thanks for sharing your story. You have shown over and over that

you are a SURVIVOR! the goal we all share with CML.

Glad to see that you have reached ZERO status with Gleevec.

You will be a great cheerleader for this list!

Hey Tracey:

Yes, Interferon is used for Hepatitis and CML treatement, when I was

diagnosed; the doctor did some tests and said that my body wouldn't

survive the dosage. I didn't get a 2nd opinion at that time as my

children were growing up and I didn't want to take the chance.

In talking with a young lady this week, she told me that hers was in

remission and she has been on pills. Years ago there were only IV

injections. Now I am going to look into it because C was active the

last time I was tested; I was in the 'safe' range, if there is such

a range.

To answer your question, I am a Leo/feline, I have 2 cats, and Honey

says I 'roar(haha).

I was a 'newbie' to the group last month and didn't get a

chance to inftroduce myself to the group; if I had entered the site

for the first time on 3/10; I never would have known about this

group. . . I would have avoided that group completely. I had been

assigned #811 by Zavie just before the 'stuff' hit the fan.

When my 'bro' told me about the group, he wasn't participating

actively and he didn't post. You guys got him to tell more than I

knew, and my sis Skittles is involved. In lieu of what's going on

there, 'Thanx' again Amy for the foresight to start this group,

because I would be out here alone with my 'bug'.

Take care, brother & sister survivors, I have you in my prayers.
