Lottie - I'm so sorry your mail bounced back! Will you try again? I am at

PhoenixPat(at).com. I will make sure to check the spam filter too. :-)

Did you know this is Leukemia Lymphoma and Myeloma Awareness Month? I saw your

post while I was working on a story about as an example of someone who

survived leukemia and was then inspired to help others (like a lot of people on

this list!!!)Here's the link to that story, with more personal details,

including his decision to have another child. And there are also links to his

website and personal blog.

I hope you got my message while you were in the hospital in Louisiana. You were

really missed! All of your contributions are helpful and appreciated!

Take care,

Pat in Phoenix

> I am glad you liked reading about Schorr, even though it was not new to

you. I knew when I posted it that at least one person would enjoy reading what

he had to say and now we have a link where we can see what he has to offer us. I

like to read all types of information, even if it is not directly about CML, but

is somehow related to some issues some of us have to deal with. It takes a

little longer to copy and paste in sections at the time, but I don't mind as

long as I know people are reading it. I know they are from the feedback, so I

am not wasting my time, but sharing.

> I never know who is going write saying they related to the article. In your

case, even an older article. I'm glad you shared that with us, Pat. It is now

a human interest story and we can all relate to that. I hope everyone will go

to his site and see what he has to offer. I ran across his articles a few

times, and wondered if he was really legit, so I looked up his credentials and

found that he was certainly qualified to write and who better than one who has

experienced some of the same things we have. I'm happy that he is in remission

from CLL. I met a woman last year who had it twice. Every once in a while I

run across an article I think she might be interested in, but she just buried

her husband from cancer and I think cancer is the last thing in the world she

needs to be thinking about right now. She needs to mourn the loss of her

husband and plan what she is going to do for the rest of her life. She has no

children and her family is in Canada, her birthplace. Thank you so much for

adding to the information I furnished, so people will remember his name and read

more of his articles when they run across them. Hope you are doing great and

thriving. Your work sounds so interesting.
