Hi Bob,
I have been on GLEEVEC SINCE 2002, AS I WAS DX WITH CML IN 1994 SO WHEN THE FDAA PASSED GLEEVEC is was such a BLESSING. I had the same problem with my hgm and hct dropped so drastically that they had to DC the GLEEVEC for 2 months, but if you get the chance to read my blog I just learned that I am back in REMISSION after being out for 1 1/2 years. What a BLESSING I feel. I no longer have the support that I had when I was dx, as I lost both of my parents and since they were the youngest of their siblings all of my other family has already passed. My children are now 21, 23 and 27 which I am extremely thankful for. That was probably my biggest fear for I have been div. for 20 years and once dx. I was fearful if something would happen then what would happen to my children. IT CAN BE VERY LONELY BY MYSELF, I DON’T GO ON AND ON ABOUT MY ACHES AND PAINS TO MY CHILDREN AS THEIR ARE ALL PURSUING THEIR YOUNG ADULT LIVES IN COLLEGE. Just how do you even consider meeting someone once diagnosed with CML?????
