RES: Welcome Ciro & Claude

March 16, 2010

Thanks you Lottie !

My history begins in 2005, when I diagnosed with a testicular cancer, then

I did a surgery and in 05/2006 I had metastases in lungs about this

testicular cancer. I started chemotherapy for 2 months and I am cured.

Unfortunately, in 05/2008, during the follow-up consultations my white count

was in 15.000, one month later grow up to 24.000, then I did the bone marrow

tests and the CML was confirm.

One month later I started on 400 mg Gleevec, and stay it until today. After

12 months I achieved 3 log and after 19 months 4,39 log !!!

I so happy, and thank GOD every day for a second chance to live.

Ciro.

Assunto: [ ] Welcome Ciro & Claude

A very happy welcome to you, Ciro. We are looking forward to a long and

happy correspondence with you. If you have any questions, there are many

here who are

capable of answering them. Please keep us abrest of your progress; there are

many of us who have been posting for a long time and are " old hands " , as the

saying goes. Please tell us more about your country and your treatment.

And to Claude, I guess we shook your tree a bit there; you didn't expect the

many responses you received, but I'm glad you took it well and are willing

to listen to the voices of reason in this instance. There is a lot of

incorrect information on the internet and we sometimes have to take it with

a grain of salt, until we know the science behind the statement, so we are

cautious about misinformation for the good of everyone concerned.

It's been a long process of learning, listening and reading, we didn't " get

here " overnight and we are still learning.

Hands & hearts,

Lottie Duthu
