Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks Lottie, The real hell was interferon, it is still no cakewalk but is a lot better. It is great to see so many of the old timers doing well on the new drugs. When we were diagnosed the average life span was 3 to 5 years without a transplant. I have been lucky that Gleevec has worked well for me and really believe a cure is not far off.

If anyone else is celebrating their 10th anniversary, I am keeping tabs. I know I don't have everyone, but I would like to if you will just let me know. We just heard from one of our older CML generation, Virginia Garner, she's put in her 10+ years, but she is still out there raising money for LLS, it's not holding her back. So there is life after CML and as we have said many times, there are worse things than CML when you look around. Congratulations to everyone who will be hitting the 10-year mark and beyond this year. > > I have a friend who had CLL not once but twice and she wrote me today to tell me her husband just died of multiple cancers that had metasacized. When I met her, she had shaved her head for a friend who was on chemo, so she lost her hair 3 times. We are having such good reports from patients in Bobby's trial, it is more encouraging all of the time. One more cheer for and I'm going to bed. Nite -Boy. > Hands & hearts, > Lottie > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
