    My opinion (and it is worth every penny that you are paying for it) is that if Nicole has a pressing “need” for her posts, then I would be in favor of a couple of days of slowdown, but if this is a “want” request, I feel that so much is being done daily in this area that we need all the speed that we can get. So, I have taken a firm position on both sides of the issue. (Mom was right … I shoulda been a lawyer). Merry Christmas to all …

    Boy are you right … I think it should have been named medicine for “multiple chromosomal abnormalities 43~48,XX,t(9;21)(q34.1;q22.1)[6],del(10)(q25.2)[4],+2mar[2][cp8]/46,xx[13]
    – on Gleevec”. Then I could have understood what it was. LOL … just having a bit of humor … hope I did not offend. Merry Christmas.

    Greg is right that this drug like many others looks very promising. But, do not get your hopes up yet … it is not yet approved and the financial analyists believe that it may not be significant to GlaxoSmithKline until the end of this decade.

    I fully agree with the other posts about not giving up, but in addition, if your MIL’s time is near, remember all the good times that you have had and all of the wonderful things that you have done for her. I am not trying to be negative, just realistic. There will come a time for all of us when we have to make the decision about how much more treatment we wish to have. I urge you to do as the Dr. suggested and talk with your MIL and find out her wishes. In the meantime, we will pray that Vidaza works in your MIL’s case. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Try to get some rest … your health is important too.

    Chip ….

    How did you know I was a dark meat eater?? Are you spying on me?? LOL!! I am so glad that others feel the same as I do. I try not to dwell on the negatives but on the positive aspects of my life. I am in a pretty damn good mood every morning when my feet reach the floor. Then I try to find something each day which make me happy or better yet, makes someone else happy. So, Happy Thanksgiving to you all and to all of your loved ones … Best wishes …
