Re: I'm going to be show and tell

[Guest guest]

Good Luck Bob, it sounds as though you have an opportunity

to teach them a thing or two. Possibly you can

start by teaching them what life for a CML patients is really

like, what side effects we experience and what difference

they can make in our lives.

Just a suggestion.

But I do get frustrated when my oncologist

says my nose bleeds are from scratching my nose, or that my

skin rash is from the soap I use, instead of agreeing that these

are known side effects of Gleevec.

With warmest regards,

Florida

Dear Group,

I received a phone call from my oncologist yesterday. My oncologist is the

Director of the Indiana University School of Medicine, South Bend campus. He

also teaches there. He asked me to come in and allow his students to quiz me

on both CML and Kidney Cancer (dang, I'm lucky, I have both). I'm hoping they

don't ask any tough questions (like about where to go shopping). I feel like

I'm my oncologist's 'show and tell'. I'll let you know how it turns out.

As my oncologist says, " there is a big difference to your body

in doing chemotherapy for a certain number of treatments,

and taking a very powerful drug that you have to take every

day for the rest of your life. "

Ditto what Matt said. Side effects may not seem like much compared to the

traditional chemo most Onc's see, but remind them that these go on for

years/decades for CML patients and can wear you down. Good luck in your

presenation

and in all things.

Indiana !

You'll be a star, I predict. I did the " show and tell " think with my oncologist

at the University of Connecticut Medical School a few years ago. I'm willing to

bet that you'll know more about CML than anyone else in the room.

Have a good time.

G'day Rick - that is a really great comment as I know sometimes I feel a bit

depressed that I have to put up with all the crap from Glivec forever and

ever. I had a short break from Glivec and my energy levels instantly came

back, then crash again when I restarted. I don't think I could go through

that again.

Good luck Bob and sic it to them!

Regards,

from Downunder

Hey Big guy ~

Just make sure that when you 'show and tell' in the class, that cancer

is the only thing you show.... and don't go getting frisky on anyone! (

tee hee) Being a medical school, they probably already have seen the

all the important biological stuff that needs no more definition!
