Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Dear Sue, Have to go easy on the champagne. I had some pink bubbly at my son's the other night. I felt like celebrating for no reason and then I got the email. You are right it is a good feeling and like a rite of passage because now I belong to Zavie's Club. He will be sending me my number when his computer is fixed. For the time being, we can talk on Skype. He is keeping the number secret until he reveals it to everyone. LOL This is like a coveted award and has done more to raise moral than anything I have seen in a long time, like being given Zavie's . You feel like you have achieved something. I don't feel like I have done anything on my own, it's all a concerted effort by everyone buoying everyone else up, even when they are down.

Check out the photos of this intimate gathering at ASH on the website. The patients were represented by Lottie, Giora, Jan and myself. Epstein and Harout Semerjian were there from Novartis. Pat - and Schwartz from the Max Foundation. Our CML expert, Dr. Moishe Talpaz from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and our caregiver supreme, Jimmy Duthu from New Orleans..

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wanted to chime in and again congratulate Lottie on this great news. I enjoyed meeting you, Giora, Jan, Pat and , Drs Talpaz, Mauro, Shah and others at ASH as well. I hate I didn't get to join you that afternoon. As you know and others, I am still in this CML fight with you all. CML effects the entire family unit and I, along with everyone here wants to see great strides made in this community. I am excited about all the things coming about this year and look forward to seeing you again soon. Greg Carolyn's Hope > > O!!!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Dear Lottie-- See, if you wait long enough you do get the BIG rewards! Congratulations. I have been lurking but just ran across your post. Sorry to be so slow in congratulating you. Nobody deserves it more! I am working on zero myself--I slipped a bit, and now I'm back at 0. So that's good. I don't have my Zavie Club number yet, either--I am not even sure when I officially went to Zero status. My doctor has been very low-key about that sort of thing. She thinks it reflects badly on her to even admit I have leukemia, I think! Again, big huge hugs and congratulations on the marvelous news! Oh, yes, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hope your holidays were marvelous. You are a blessing to us all. Vicki > > I just opened my emails late this afternoon and found one from MDACC. > > 20 out of 20 normal diploids was the message. O.K.

I have not been in the group very long, but feel I am getting to know you all. My husband is the one with CML, but as you know, this disease does not effect just the patient. I am the emailer in the family. I am so appreciative for all the information you send our way. You are a wealth of information. Zavie gave you a nice round number, full of ZEROs.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi , Yes I was keeping this number for a special person. I didn't know who, but Lottie certainly filled the bill. In the early days when I first started STI571 everyone gave me HOPE when they achieved CCR. Lottie has given all the CML Turtles this same HOPE. When I asked Lottie what number she would like to have, she said 1000. At the time I told her that the next number in the CML Zero Club would be 1293 knowing full well that number 1000 had not yet been assigned. It was my surprise and my gift to her.

Lottie has given all the CML Turtles this same HOPE. When I asked Lottie what number she would like to have, she said 1000. At the time I told her that the next number in the CML Zero Club would be 1293 knowing full well that number 1000 had not yet been assigned. It was my surprise and my gift to her.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Lottie is very worthy of that precious number!!! I'm glad you got to meet her and Jimmie. They are an inspiration to us all. How do I get to the pictures on the site? I would love to see them. I purchased a webcam so maybe I can get myself to stay up a little later on Tuesdays and join the Tuesday chats.
