Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Congratulations Lottie!!! Â Zavie you are the BEST!! Â Moe/VT dxd 2/2003 #608 From: Zavie <zmiller@...> Subject: RE: [ ] Great News Date: Saturday, January 9, 2010, 10:57 PM Â 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.

YIPPEEE!!! Number 1000 in the Zero Club Zavie Another TURTLE crosses the finnish line. The message is: Never Give Up. The TKI SKI-606 is the one that did it for her. It was a thrill to meet Lottie and Jimmy at ASH in early December. We had the best time. 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.. Sorry for taking so long to post. I finally got my send email problem fixed.

O.K. Zavie, now you can get your megaphone out and I want my number sprinkled with stardust if that is not too much trouble. Now there is a project, printing Zero numbers on T-shirts. Zavie has his on his cap and he's never without it, but I don't look so good in a hat. LOL Just wanted to share my good news, I waited 14.5 years to claim it and announce it.
