Re: 10th Anniversary of CML

[Guest guest]

Hi Bob,

Congratulations for still being here in good spirits 10 years after you got the

bad news. Sorry about the four years of Interferon. And I'm also so sworry to

hear about this new challenge. Do you have a group like this one to go to with

that cancer? What treatment are you getting and are you able to live a good

life with it? I always write when I see your name just because you're the only

other " Hoosier " on the List.

Best of the best to you always,

L

[ ] 10th Anniversary of CML

Dear Group,

Today is the 10th anniversary of my diagnosis of CML--and I'm still surprised

to say that I'm still around to celebrate it. Still around after 4 years of

Interferon and 6 years of Gleevec.

I'm glad that I met the people in the group--but hate that our primary shared

interest is CML. Let's continue together!!!!!!!!!!

Zavie # 54 (wow!!!!)

PS: This is also my second anniversary of my battle with renal cell cancer. I

just wish I could be as successful with that battle as I have been with CML--but

I'm afraid it's just not to be.

Hi Bob,

Another congrats on the 10 year Milestone..Hope you are staying as

well as possible with your other battle.

Does your onc or hemo think that there may be a correlation between

years of taking Gleevic and your renal cell cancer? Or was this

something completely seperate they feel?

Kind Regards

Bil

Hi Bob -- Happy 10th year anniversary! You are such a wonderful

addition to these message boards.

Prayers continue for you always as you deal with CML and renal cell

cancer. You are a trooper, and I look forward to many more posts

from you announcing another anniversary.

hugs,

Hey ,

The Interferon years are not nearly the punishment that I now get from

my kidney cancer medicine. And yes, I have a kidney cancer group,

through ACOR, that is a lot more serious than the CML groups. In fact,

I tried joking with them and got about 10 e-mails telling me that jokes

were not appropriate for the group. In fact they discourage replies

like I am writing now--they prefer specific e-mails be replied to in

private. But, I've learned a lot from them but don't contribute much--

they're not receptive to my humor.

Hey Bob,

I'm so sorry to hear that. A little humor and group sharing could be so good

for everyone. I've heard about ACOR and told not to go there until if and when

I have to. Is your form and stage of cancer curable or manageable for lengthy

periods? If you don't want to answer or talk about it, it's fine but I always

have felt a tie with you.

Love,

Dear Bob,

I'm not sure if we've ever exchanged posts, but I had to laugh and

chime in on this one. I'm mostly a lurker on this and the Asia

board -- occasionally I'll contribute a post -- but I have enjoyed

and appreciated your sense of humor many times. I can understand

group members not appreciating jokes from someone who does not have

kidney cancer, but it seems to me if anyone has " standing " to make

jokes, it's you.

Warm regards.
