Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Dear , All I can do is offer my condolences on the loss of your job. I sincerely hope you can find one soon. There must be a community clinic nearby. Have you asked LLS if they had any information on this matter? Does your cancer clinic have a social worker, they normally have a wealth of knowledge from lodging to finances. That's just about all the sleep I get, so I know the tired feeling you must have. Do you think it could be depression from worrying about your job or lack thereof? I read that you had a lot of pain in your legs, mostly in the shins. Supposedly, that is when the meds are destroying the bad cells in such a hurry, your body doesn't have time to absorb them, sort of like having your spleen full of leukemia cells and it keeps enlarging. I can still feel the pain in my shins every once in a while on this trial, but I can tell you that while on Gleevec it was a constant. If this is no consolation, at least you will know you are not alone. Perhaps some of the cancer blogs would know where you can obtain free cancer care, including your CBC's, I would not stop asking. I was a volunteer with social services and they provided money for people who needed money to pay their rent, so why wouldn't they be able to help you with your CML needs? Never give up, there must be something out there, have you contacted someone in the state capital? I know everyone in this group must be praying and pulling for you to get out of this situation. Just keep asking. Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
