RE: 4th of july climbing and flu scare

[Guest guest]

goodness gracious...where do you find the energy to climb anything? I have NO

energy and if I had to climb a wall, well let's just say, I would STILL be at

the bottom, lol. Glad you are doing so well though. Gleevec knocks the life

outta me!

I had great climbing trip over the 4th of July week-end near lake

Tahoe, some really nice piece of land. I posted a few pics on the

photo folder to show the newcomers they don't have to give up on

having fun. Back to the office I had a sore throat and was a bit

sneezing what was freaking out some of my colleagues who feared the

pig flu. I had this small cold I couldn't shake out for a couple of

weeks but no fever so it couldn't be the flu. But to ease my

co-worker's stress (they don't know I have cml) I took most of the

week off and I am feeling good now, just came back from the climbing

wall, not my best session ever, a little puffing, stayed away from the

5.12s, but not so bad either.

Hi ,

I really think it's a snowball thing, more you exercise easier it

gets, no matter from where you start, as long as the exercise is

adapted. I used to be real tired when I started gleevec and at first

it was hard to do much, but after some everyday walking around

downtown and then in the hills above Palo Alto it started getting

better. It takes some time, I am still improving after 4 years. I am

not too much of a health/nutrition nut, but I know the body makes a

lot of good things when we exercise. This last year I upped a bit my

regimen and I lost all the excess fluid and some fat I had added since

dx and I am down to 165lbs, about 10-15lbs below my fit weight when I

was 25. It may just be it is harder to muscle up at 42 than at 20,

gleevec may or may not have something to do also, I dunno and I don't

really care all that much, I feel reasonably good and being a bit on

the light side is not a bad thing for climbing. Actually I was

comparing more than well with the 2 healthy Stanford students I was

climbing with this week-end, what was balm to my male ego

Well congrats on the being fit. Maybe someday I will get there. I am not gaining

weight on GLeevec like most people have done, I have actually lost 33 pounds and

I am NOT complaining about that!

You go Marcos!!!! That is wonderful for new members to know that life doesn't

have to stop because of cml.  It gives us (5 yrs since dx) inspiration that

exercise really does help. I'm still trying to work it into my - schedule. As

a nurse once told me, it's part of our medicine.

God Bless,

Jackie S.

Hi ,

No I haven't seen any drs for cml at Stanford. I have been there

before for injury and had a very bad experience there. If I need to

see a cml specialist here in the bay area I d rather go to UCSF.

A number of folks in my LLS-sponsored support group in Oakland say the same

thing. I always assumed Stanford was the premiere place to go for all things

medical but apparently not!
