Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Dear Friends, My one year anniversary has come around. The saddest thing for me is that I feel like I lost a big part of myself, the part that thinks one is immortal that kind of trust you have that you have that cancer is not going to happen to you I feel those are things that I might not get back. Hours go by without me thinking about CML this I thought would never happen!! I feel very hopeful with all the new drugs in the pipeline. I am so grateful for this web site and all the wonderful knowledge and experience of Brother and Sister Warriors thanks for your companionship. Cheers!!
