Oh my gosh, gurl… You’ve been through the wringer. AML’s generally the challenging alphabet grouping of the Leukemia Club! CML is supposed to be the easy one (tongue in cheek…there IS no easy one). What you’ve gone through over the past 20 years is anything but timid!
The chemo overdosing sounds horrific. It’s not pleasant anytime but to be on it and not being monitored, no matter the financial status, is reprehensible! I’m really sorry you had to go through all of that but wow, you certainly came out on top of this incredible challenge.

There certainly is nothing like a second chance at life. It’s something I’ll never take for granted. Not that I did the first time around but we get complacent and don’t quite always appreciate every day. My story is lengthy as well. If you look at my @loribmt link you’ll find my bio and postings so I won’t type it again.
But I truly know and understand your glee at possibly getting off the meds! AND to have made it 20 years, defying the actuarial tables. Sorta feels like a super power, doesn’t it? Giggle. I came out the other side feeling pretty invincible; healthy, strong~mentally and physically and an advocate for surviving and thriving after AML and bone marrow transplants!

It’s a pleasure to have you on board and I know your experiences, along with your positive and inspiring comments will help a lot of members along the way.
Are there any other groups that have piqued your interest?
