I too would be interested in a CMML mailing list. My circumstance continues to be one of ‘watch & wait’ with monthly CBC’s and visits to a Center of Excellence 4 to 6 times per year.

Jim,
I’m delighted for you . . . wonderful news. We did
that cruise five years ago, shortly after my lymph node dissection. It’s the only cruise I’ve ever taken and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was wonderful, especially for a midwesterner.

Jack,
I too am still in the same, wait-and-see mode. I had a BMAB at Rush in January and my bone marrow blasts were up to 29%, with peripheral blood blasts at 4%. Since other blood numbers weren’t changing and I had no other new symptoms, the determination was to wait another sixty days. Last week, my peripheral blood blast was 0% and my other blood numbers basically unchanged. RBC 4.33, HGB 11.5, PLT 221, WBC 5.94 and Monocytes 22.2%. The doctor was pleased (surprised?) and continued to advise no intervention at this time.

Like you, my only real complaint is fatigue, no doubt occasioned by anemia. I take Esberitox,an immune system supplement and have had neither a cold nor an infection in six months. I still work, but at a greatly reduced pace.

I’m extremely grateful, especially in light of all the bad news on the board this week.

Hang in there. IN Jack
