New and wanted to share story(long)

January 10, 2007

Hello everyone,

My name is and my husbands name is . was dx with CML

in January of 2002. He had a BMT in April of 2002 because he had a

brother that matched and that is what our doctor recomended for us to

do. We had some major GVHD problems and after three long years

went back to work. The last two years have gone pretty well and we

even got a suprise little baby. We didn't think we could have any more

kids after going through the BMT. We finally felt like life was

getting back to normal. Well that is not in the cards. We just found

out that his CML is back and so now we are starting all over again. We

have decided to give the Gleevec a try instead of trying to give

GVHD again. We are hoping Gleevec will be affective. (He has not

started the Gleevec yet because we are waiting for insurance

approval). is going through some major depression right now and

I am hoping we can find some support from others as we start on this

road again. You all seem very kind and I hope to get to know you all

better. Thank you for reading.
