Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Welcome Jess to our group. We have been anxiously awaiting news of your recovery and ability to return home. We hope you will learn as many positive things as you can about CML, it's not the worst thing in the world to happen to you, although I admit when you learn you have it, it is a shock. You can go on to live a fairly normal life. Teenagers especially respond to Gleevec and other similiar drugs. After you make a few changes in your life, you will find that you are able to live as normally as your peers, with a few exceptions. I'm sure your medical team has given you instructions as to what you can and cannot do while taking Gleevec, but if you have any questions, any number of the membership will come to the forefront with answers for you. I was diagnosed when I was 67 and I am now 80, so take heart, you have a long life ahead of you. Make the most of it and enjoy it to the fullest. Blessings and best wishes, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
