Hi everyone!
I made it! First night of Gleevec was not as bad as I had prepared for! Most of you have been asking how I am doing (I can’t keep up with the VM, text, and emails- sorry!)
Nausea- This tripled!
Liquid poop! - YUM
Body aches
Eyes swelling- boy do I look pretty!
Itching
The good news is I think I can manage this without a nurse! :) I am hopeful that this will get better. I have made a lot of new friends at this message board http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/CML2/
They tell me that it will take me about a month to adjust to the new chemo. I can handle that! This group is awesome! They all have the same cancer as me so they can relate to exactly what I'm going through!
Anyway, I need to clean my house. I have been so tired that I haven’t been able to clean much. Those of you who know me know, that I am going crazy! :)
Thank you all for your love and prayers!
Have a great Halloween!
Love,
Ryan "Chemo-sabi"

Hi Ryan
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to be in this "club", but seeing as you are, that CML2 support group is just totally awesome.... They sort of saved my sanity when my son was diagnosed at the age of 23, three and a half years ago. Their help, humor and support was, and is, totally priceless.
I hope you adjust to Gleevec really soon, Steven has had very few side effects and has not missed a day of work because of cml...... I wish the same for you.
Love and light
Annie
~ How was the second day/night? the same or are you doing a little better? ~
