Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Dear , I just re-read your post and I wanted to tell you that it took a lot of courage for you to come out and post your story. I am sure it was like reliving your medical history. I know there are a lot of people who do not post for reasons of their own, or they think they have nothing to say, but everyone has a story and no two will be alike. You have given those of us who never had a BMT reason to be happy we didn't have to make that choice. I am sure that you had many sleepless nights worrying about what you would have to go through, but your courage will not be wasted, whether we have a BMT or a BMB. We are bent upon learning all we can, so we will recognize warning signs that we would ordinarily dismiss. Thank you for your boldness, you have no idea how many people you have reached. Hands & hearts, Lottie Duthu Diagnosed 7/96 Finally CCR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 ...I agree with Lottie and thank you for posting your story...it made me feel like I am not alone in the " abnormalness " of my case...there are many in chronic stage that post and I am happy for all the support they give, but no one can " walk in my shoes " so to say if they haven't been in blast crisis and facing the only option which is BMT...your courage in posting your story has been wonderous to me and I will be forever grateful for your willingness to share...for everyone else, please continue to give me suggestions, as I am new to this disease and grateful for any information and support.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Thank you for your kind words Lottie. Even though there has been so much progress in the treatment of CML, there are those of us that just don't fit the " mold " of the typical patient. I'm hoping that sooner or later there will be a cure for CMLers without having to go through the transplant experience. > > Dear , > I just re-read your post and I wanted to tell you that it took a lot of courage for you to come out and post your story.
