Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I remember you, Zazzy! Loewenkamp here. Welcome. I just rejoined this group recently and am so glad I did> Can't wait to hear how you're doing. Good, I guess. Me, too. I'm on Sprycel now and am doing very well after side effects caused a 2 1/2 week break. Welcome!!! Cheers, L [ ] Some may remember me Hi everyone, Zazzy here. Thank you to Lottie for pointing me to this group and thanks to Tracey for inviting me! Some of you may remember me. For others here is my story: I was diagnosed with CML in Jan. 2001 after undergoing open heart surgery just three months prior. 3 months after my CML dx, I was told that I had breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. I live in St. Maries, Idaho, in the panhandle,near Spokane, WA. My oncologist is in Coeur d'Alene, ID, just 50 some miles north of here. I started Gleevec in June, 2001 when it became available to the public and have been on it since. I've never had any bad side effects from it and it was a blessing after living a not-so-great life on Interferon for four months. I didn't tolerate Interferon well at all and landed on the couch for much of the four months I was on it. I eventually required a platelet transfusion. I look forward to meeting all I don't know and catching up with old friends. Take care, Zazzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
