Gold Star
I am giving you a gold star to going to a Phillies game. I just can't believe that they don't win at home. I wonder what the problem is. More importantly, I hope you had a nice weekend. Don't forget to let everyone know how you are making out. I am curious to hear about your blood levels. Hang in there! Marie

Keep us posted on your situation. I would be feeling like you if I were taken off Gleevec. By the way, where are you being treated? Just curious because we live near one another. I go to Riddle in Media, PA. Take care! Marie
Hug
Thanks Karen, This is all so new to me. I am not even sure what I have to look forward to in the coming weeks or months ahead. I hope in the end it will all be positive energy and strength. I hope the doc figures out what he is going to do with ya and your WBC being low. I wish my were lower then they currently are right now. My iron levels are really low too right now. Which is not helping my energy level. Lets keep in touch. Thanks again for the I'm with you hug. diddo back. Luv Teresa
