Re: The Old Days

[Guest guest]

Dear Judy,

It has been quite ahile since I saw your name on the List. I do hope lots of

people write in and that it somehow takes root again this spring. So glad

you're doing well. At least it sounds like it. I love funny cynics--if you

start losing weight you'll know it's leukemia and not your diet! ; >). Let's

make an effort to stay in touch. I do agree with you that newbies write in for

help and questions and unless one of us checks in that day there's no longer a

core of people making sure the light doesn't go out. It's very important beause

we were in their situation not so long ago.

Hugs from Virginia!

[ ] The " Old Days "

I remember the start of this group too. It's been

4-1/2 years since I was diagnosed and luckily for me,

Gleevec just got approved for use in Alberta. So far

so good with Gleevec but , I will remember what

you said " when it goes, it goes fast " . Sometimes it

scares me that we're only seen every three months but

hopefully, should my CML start in another direction, I

will be able to detect it and get in to my onc sooner.

If I start to lose weight in a heck of a hurry, I'll

know this time it might be CML, not that my dieting is

working! Talk about being naieve.

I used to post regularly but as this disease has

almost become " old hat " I just read and don't post,

forgetting that anyone new is looking for

encouragement and information. It would be a shame

for this list to gradually dwindle down to nothing.

On the lighter side of things, it is finally spring in

Calgary and the trees are starting to birst their buds

and produce the lovely green leaves. The ants are

busy creating havoc and the Robin Red Breasts are busy

building nests on places they shouldn't.

All for now everyone - I honestly think about a lot of

you, whom I got to know, a great deal.

Take care.

Hugs a'plenty, Judy
