Manic Days

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I was diagnosed in May with CML, " presented " with a white blood count

of half a million making it seem more like AML, was given 6 days of

chemo which brought the WBC down but plumetted everything else after

many blood and platelette transfusions and with the final diadnosis of

CML I guess you could say I am doing well, latest tests showed only 0.6

of bad stuff in my blood but 96% still in bone marrow. I am on 400mg

of Gleevec daily my Dr. tells me I am where he would have expected me

to be at a year (a good thing apparently). I am 48 years old and a

Mother of 4 I am tired alot now and find it hard to face the fact that

I cant do what I did before. I seem to tick along OK then something

sets me off and I am depressed and angry for days, is this " normal " how

can I stop being negative??

Regards Donna
