Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I was diagnosed with CML in February 2008. Unfortunately, they found it when I was going through the presurgery testing a week before donating a kidney to my husband. I guess it was lucky that it was found since I had no symptons, but my husband ended up having to go on dialysis. Good ending to that story as our 20 year old adopted son donated a kidney to his dad in June and they are doing extremely well. Anyway, I take 400 mg of gleevec every day. My blood work now says I am in remission. They then did another bone marrow and I went from being around 150% positive for CML to.2% positive for CML so I am lucky. I am handling the gleevec fairly well. I just find I am more tired and if I get overtired I feel sick. This medicine is super expensive, but it has worked tremendously well for me and my insurance company has not balked yet. I am just interested in reading and learning more about CML as I really knew nothing about it until I was told that I had it. Thanks for letting me join your group.
