hello

i dont post much but reading about the wonderful scenery in new zealand, where i

visited with all my family last year, brought up the memories of a most beatiful

vacation.

we loved every minute, the land, the people and the animals. (o, swimming with

the dolphines in keikura!)

we toored from dunedin the half island with the albatros place, the sea lions

and the pinguines nursing place, and it was unforgatable.

so many things to do and time just flew by so fast.

i hope i will make it back one day

Hi

So wonderful that you have been to our wonderful country, it is beautiful. I

work at a restaurant in Dunedin that gets a lot of overseas holiday-makers

and I never get tired of them telling me how wonderful our country is. In

July my two best friends and I went on the Trans Scenic train from

Christchurch to Greymouth and most of the time I stood in the freezing cold

on the observation platform transfixed by the beauty around me.

I think that is something positive that having CML has done for me, it's

made me appreciate the things in my life that once I would have taken for

granted.

As for side effects of Glevac, sometimes I get a bit nauseous and I get

pains in my legs at night but that could be caused by a problem I have with

my back so I'm not too sure.

But compared to the side effects of Interferon it's nothing. Interferon made

me sick, lethargic and depressed. It effected my hands so bad I couldn't do

anything, ( and I'm really into crafts), my feet used to scrunch up in my

shoes all the time and the worst thing was it effected my memory so bad that

one not I couldn't remember how to get home. But that's all in the past

since I went onto Glevac, the wonder drug!

Like you my hematologist thinks I'd had CML for about a year and I had the

same symptoms. By the time I went to my GP he thought I was in heart failure

and sent me off for all sorts of tests and that's how they found it.

I'm glad you have a form of stress relief and I'm sure those dogs (like my

cat) don't understand why they are waiting for their breakfast so you have

to get up and go.LOL.

Take care and let me know how you're going.

Cheers

Liddy

Hi Gloria,

I'm so thrilled that you loved our country so much. It is a very beautiful place

and we are so lucky to live here.

Because I work in a restaurant that attracts many overseas visitors I hear over

and over how beautiful our country is and I never get tired of hearing it

because I just think it is beautiful and I'm lucky to live here,

Hope you are doing well

Liddy

P.S I have included a link to the photos one of my friends too on the Trans

Alpine train trip in July for anyone who would like to have a look.
