The Stone Saga

[Guest guest]

I was diaignosed in 05, that is when I joined the group. My story with CML is

coming out very good on the other side. I had a BMT in 07 and currently I am

CML and GVHD free and back at work. I am truly fortunate to be coming out the

other side of this

Dear Therese,

I am happy to hear that you are doing so well after your BMT, it is unusual

to have recovered so fully in such a short period of time. As with the other

members of this

group, I am sure they are as surprised as I am that your father has also been

diagnosed with CML. I hope he will become a member to get on course to learn as

much as he can about CML and to hear our stories to inspire him to keep the

fires of hope burning. Though you may never know what caused either of you to

fall victim to CML, the great lesson is that you learn to live with it. What we

try to impart to newcomers is that we as a group and individually have all come

a long way since our diagnosis. Some have reached the apex and others are still

trudging, but we don't give up. I hope your father can keep his spirits up and

learn from your own experience as well. There will always be a place open for

him when he is ready.

Hands & hearts,

I am kinda of suprised how well I am doing at times also.  I have seen and have

been involved with the worse and the best of this process we call living with

CML.  We learn to apprecieate good when we get it!

 

I am trying to reach out and help my father.  I am still numb with this

realization.  Your posts are awsome, thank you!  Because I have been coming out

the other side I haven't posted much.  I kept saying to myself to get off this

site. It is hard, I feel like I have a connection with everyones lives and

stories.  It was hard to leave, I guess it was meant to be for me to keep this

connection.  I hope my father has the guts to reach out also.

 

Thanks everyone and best wishes,

 

Therese
