Congrats Kathie!

[ ] 4 years and going strong!

Dear Listmates:

I want to celebrate with those of you who are on this CML journey with me. This

is my four year anniversary of being diagnosed. It's interesting how easily I

remember the date. With this diagnosis everything changed. And yet, today I am

healthy and active. I have been blessed to be at PCR since June of 2005 and I

have very few side effects from the 600 mgs. of Gleevec (down from 800 mgs.) I

take daily. I also have anemia problems and take 40,000 units of ProCrit to keep

my counts in an acceptable range. I want to thank all of you for your courage,

your support, your knowledge, and your willingness to share the good, the bad,

and the ugly. Without you I would feel so alone.

God willing I will be on earth for a long time. And so will you.

Cheers,

Kathie in Florida

effects. hang in there everyone!

Congratulations Kathie!

I celebrated 7 yrs May 24th 2007.

I think we all remember that devastating day of diagnosis. And now we

celebrate that date of diagnosis with gratefulness.

With consistent research in CML I pray we will all live the normal life span

that our creator had planned for us.
