Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Donna, The first year is abit of a roller-coster and then you get into the rhythm of the rounds of appointments - side effects - management. It is a little like grieving for yourself I suppose when diagnosed and life goes on and you get on with living yours to the full. I am glad you are not thinking about CML 24/7 - it means that you are moving on. Ditto from me, Donna, I also thank everyone for their sharing of knowledge, support and chat - companionship is a good word. I am near my cancer-versary soon too!! (August for me), so I also perhaps will be reflecting. Have a good day Donna, Thinking of you - I will sing " Happy Cancer-versary " in your honour to the tune of Happy Birthday while I have dinner tonight honour.
