Hi,

I was dx May 24 this year. Iwas given 6 days of chemo before they

realized it was cml not aml but that is all in the past and I try

not tofocus onj that and the fact that caused my levels to drop so

much I had 9 blood transfusions and 6 platelette transfusions. Now

after 3 mos on gleevec I am feeling pretty good and the tiredness is

subsiding, headches I realize are due to not enough sleep and

sickness is caused by gleevec and not enough bread which I am only

happy to oblige with!!!

My spleen was a problem for approx 10 weeks, I still felt " full "

under my ribs and only really comfortable when laying down then I

seemed to get jabbing pains now it feels great!

The emotional roller coaster is the biggestproblem for me. I am

blessed with a wonderful husband that has been there every minute

for me, sometimes I worry that he doesn't have the support he needs,

I feel I have changed from the strong able bodied Mother of 4 to

someone " high maintenance " that stresses out about things I never

worried about before.

This web site has been so helpful to me. Thank you
