Don's Story

[Guest guest]

Dear Group

Wow, that is a powerful story from Don. Just so everyone knows, Jimmy and I

have met Don and his lovely wife, Ludy on several occasions at MDACC, but I

never heard the story like he has told you in his last post. He knows of which

he speaks and you can believe every word. He is quick to jump in whenever he

sees someone struggling like he did. Do we have an archive for stories like

that? I am happy that Sprycel is working for him, and like him, I would be

afraid to stop taking it, but that is my opinion. Only he and Ludy know what

transpired through thoughout his various treatments. Their daughter also runs

in marathons to raise money for LLS, so this family is very involved with

supporting CML patients, as they are very grateful.

I know he feels lucky to have survived and we are all glad that he did and we

thank him for sharing this great story. The chloromas are enough to scare the

bejeebers out of anyone, but he overcame that, too. I think his recovery was

miraculous, whether some believe in them, or not. I know that his story has

changed over the years and each time we saw him, it was something else. Last

time it was his eye GVHD, but the doctors have found a way to give him relief

from most of it's side effects. We all wish him much luck and success. Way to

go, Don and Ludy.

Hands & hearts,
