I'm Back

[Guest guest]

Greetings!!

My name is Terry and I was a member of this group in the past and now that

my life has gotten more order in it I have decided to return.

For those new or do not remember me I will give you some info.

I am 40 years old and was dx'ed in April of 04, have been on 400mg's of

gleevec since and been in remission since as well. Aside from many of the

side effects I am doing well, I finally have the ride combo on pain meds and

other meds to manage the side effects. Unfortuantely I am unable to work. I

have been finally approved for SS disabilty but my former employer Bank of

America decided to cut me off their retiree insurance because I had not

worked there for 10 years. I was a former credit card fraud investigator.

Recent events in my life have been mixed but over all very good. I got rid

of a girlfriend that was using me for money, and found a lovely woman and

got married June 15th of this year. It was on her birthday so it will be

easy for me not to forget our anniversary..lol. The bad thing was on our way

home we were in a car accident(T-boned by a ford explorer) We both have neck

and back injuries as well as I have a bad left shoulder. But we are being

treated for that. Also the social worker from my Onco's office is helping me

get my Gleevec free so I will not have to pay almost 3 grand a month for it

since I lost my RX coverage. So things are looking up a bit even with the

bad stuff that has happened. I rejoined because I missed many in the group

especially my big sis K, as well as , and also I wanted to be as much

help as I can to anyone new to our little disease. So I am back folks. I

have a dark sense of humor so be warned..rotfl.

Hello, Greetings to all of you people, I join this

group even though i am not the one suffering with this

illness, it is my grandson...Just for the reason

having someone to taLK to. He is suffering from

leukemia as well, and its almost 1 and half years now

he is on treatment, Right now at this moment he is on

his way home because the Doctors have advised us that

its useless to have him a BMT, actually he is ALL

leukemia (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) Very difficult

folks to accept but we just trust in the Lord for all

this things,,Strengthen us in your prayers.. Rene

Glad to hear all went well and welcome back.

Hi Friends,

Well, I'm back from my pacemaker change out and am really charged up. The doc

gave me enough Versed to kill a horse and I didn't feel a thing, not even when

my IV was jerked out by a nurse who tripped over it. The doc was an hour late

getting started (can't figure out how you could be an hour late on a 10:00 AM

scheduled start--how late was he for a 3:00 PM start). I have a different brand,

I'm now sporting a St. Jude Medical pacemaker-defibrill ator, the old one was

made by Medtronics.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back but a little anxious right now---PAT WENT SHOPPING!

Welcome Back, Bob. Great news except for the doc's tardiness. To have to wait

an extra hour when you're already tense beyond measure is cruel, I think. I

once sat at my mother's hospital bedside when her scheduled life-threatening

surgery was delayed hour after hour by a late doctor. It jusdt isn't right.

So glad you got your versed and perhaps a better pacemaker. Did you have to

skip your starring role as the " teacher " of med students, too? Hope not.

Be well.

All the best the " Other Hoosier "

Dear ,

Didn't miss my teachin' responsibilities. Gonna meet the kids on

Momday afternoon. The original plan was for me to do a meet and

greet on both CML and Kidney Cancer, but my Oncologist told me

yesterday that the meeting would be about CML only. I re-read my

original doc's notes this morning--once again I know why I fired him.

Hey Bob,

You fired your onc for more than one reason. YOU can handle both CML and kidney

cancer but apparently your onc can't!

Have a terrific day,
