Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I am in the pest control bus. Don't handle chemicals a lot but was wondering if that could have had any link to the cml. I still work on gleevec and am in remission. Need to work. dr didn't seem concerned. Not paranoid but just overthinking things now . chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I know what you mean--I always wonder WHAT might have caused this. I used a very heavy duty yard chemical about 20 years ago called " Crossbow " and I remember I got some on my hands and was very concerned. My dog has since died of liver cancer (possibly related to this chemical exposure???) and I always wonder if it was the type of toxin to lead to chromosomal mutation? I have never had radiation exposure, never exposure to drycleaning chemicals, but yard chemicals for sure. We'll probably never know, and the great thing is that we have Gleevec and other drugs to keep us going and healthy. I am working full-time too, it really helps me--it is therapy as well as a livelihood. Happy New Year, and Good health to all and to all a good night!! Vicki PS Special wishes, blessings and prayers to Lottie and any other members of this group who are sick. I myself am recovering from a doozy of a URI and watching it snow outside, which is awful since I am at work, south of Downtown Seattle, and I live 20 miles north of here. I am dreading the drive home. We just got through one big snowstorm, and it looks like we are getting another snifter tonight! Well, Good night, and may God bless us, every one! > > I am in the pest control bus. Don't handle chemicals a lot but was > wondering if that could have had any link to the cml.

Glad your in remission, and that is what I concentrate on. They say Leukemia is not inherited, but yet on my fathers side his mother and sister both died of Leukemia many years ago. You cannot help if there was a connection there. My grandmother chose not to do anything, and my Aunt was in blast phase before they even found it. I just trust God everyday, and pray for a cure.
