Hi Everyone -

I've just found your group, and am thankful for the opportunity to join you and

share information. I was diagnosed with CML in September 09 and am responding

well to treatment with Gleevec. I've had to learn so much in the past three

months! And I've realized that I have even more to learn in the years ahead. I'm

looking forward to learning from all of you, and to contributing to the

discussions.

Take good care,

Pat Elliott

Hi Pat,

Welcome to the club that nobody really wants to be a member of.

Most people do extremely well on Gleevec. If there is a problem with Gleevec

there are 2 new approved drugs that work and another 3 or 4 drugs that are

currently being tested in clinical trials.

I'm looking forward to enrolling you in the Zero Club soon.

Hi Everyone -

I've just found your group, and am thankful for the opportunity to join you

and share information. I was diagnosed with CML in September 09 and am

responding well to treatment with Gleevec. I've had to learn so much in the

past three months! And I've realized that I have even more to learn in the

years ahead. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you, and to

contributing to the discussions.

Take good care,

Hi Pat:  Glad you decided to join our group.  It really helps you get through

so much.  You start asking Why Me?  It gets better as time goes on, because

you learn that its a chronic condition.  When I was diagnosed 11 years ago, I

had a million questions and thoughts going through my mind.  Did not know there

were groups, and at first I was not coping  very well.  You are really new to

all of this, but we are all very supportive of each other.

     Ask any questions at anytime.  You will learn so much as you go along.

     Welcome to CML 2
