Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hello Martha, Congratulations on your PCRU! This is cause for celebration! I've kept a low profile of late, thus you may have not seen a post from me, however, I couldn't let your post pass without telling you how excited we are and that we celebrate with you. Truly a blessing! Here's to continued success in your CML journey! Hello everyone!!! I'm still here...just haven't posted much lately. As always, I am thankful for your continued thought, prayers, and friendship. Together, we can make a difference!

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Congratulation Professor Martha.... Remember the song on My Fair Lady, well you did it, you really did it Congratulation Professor Martha! It is a good feeling!!! Dory Doggie ________________________________ From: Martha <meteomartha@...> Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 7:40:46 AM Subject: [ ] First Anniversary Hello to the whole support group! Just passed my first anniversary from diagnosis. You cannot know how much the caring and sharing in this group have meant to me. I am one of the lucky ones. My 12-month tests all came back " undetectable " . I am PCRU! And I found that I can handle the 400mg Gleevec daily OK. I had a 3-month stint on 600mg late last fall when someone decided that my response was suboptimal. And that was a miserable time for me; I know where my limits are! I went into an appointment with journal articles and treatment guidelines, and won my case to go back to 400mg. This I can manage. In one year I have gone from sheer terror at the news of the diagnosis to incorporating it all into my life. Now I can concentrate on finishing my PhD (which for someone who is 60 will be a real celebration! ). Many thanks for all your sharing and caring!
