Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks much. I have my side effects but I'm working 2 days a week which for me is a good ballance between dog tired and feeling usefull. I'm here to watch my 4 year old son grow up and that's the most important thing on Earth! :} taina2044@... wrote: hi alicia I hope you're doing well on the gleevec(within reason) most important is to nourish yourself for the war with the bug. nice to meet you aliza yaffa shalom from rochester n.y. **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I joined the group shortly after diagnosis. My son was 21 months at the time and the very worst, most heart wrenching thing (after making sure I couldn't 'give it' to him) was that I had to stop breast feeding him immediately. He seemed fine with it but it absolutely broke my heart. I do take it easy and thank God for naptime. :} taina2044@... wrote: I know what ur saying yeaturday i was so exauseted that my eyes were tearing all day learn not to do more than you can even though with a 4yr. old thats easier said than done enjoy him in good health . have you been with the group long? i just started last month and its a great support system have a good day I also work 4 3hr. days it' all i can do without depleating myself of all energy aliza yaffa rochester n.y. **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
