Loved your story!! It brings us hope. I'm so happy that they are making advancements in the remission if not a cure for CLL.
God Bless you and your Family! I hope that everyone who needs treatment has as much success as you.

My mom has a rare form of B cell lymphoma, had chemo Thursday and went shopping today...she was so proud that not only did she donate 5% to LLS but she saved more than she spent!!! I'm so proud of her for her tenacity...what a woman!

Tyson Holly, your mom sounds amazing! My hopes and prayers are with your family as you support your mom in her journey to good health!

Ok LLS, is there further hope for those with CMML? My mom was first diagnosed with CML and then progressed to CMML. Are there any current suvivors of this? She is 72!!!! She's a fighter.....

@Angela - Here is a link to more information on the LLS website about CMML - http://www.lls.org//all_page.adp?item_id=557237 Also, we recommend that you contact our Information Resource Center to find out more about survival rates.

This is the best deal! All outerwear is on sale for 50% off and then you get another 30% off of that! I got a gorgeous wool pea coat for my daughter for a little over $17! (It was originally $49.50)!

This is sweet! My 3 year old was recently diagnoses with ALL, and to know there are so many things that are done to help her and others like her it is heart warming ♥

Marcia, after treatment I was given a 33% chance of survival, and I am almost at 7 years! I'm hoping and wishing for your future good health!
Brittany Ross, 9 years! wow! I hope to be there in another couple of years, congrats!!!

Keri Walton, When I was undergoing chemo for AML it seemed that a lot of things kept going wrong...but I'm a survivor and a warrior and I have the battle scars to prove it! My hopes and prayers are with your family as you cheer your brother on to his recovery.

God bless commercialism!

Dear Brittany, I will pray for you! I wish you to get cured!

Let's keep clinical trials!!! Without them I and many of my new friends would not be here to share our stories. Please keep the experimental choices open and educate the public and patients of all that is entailed. Make it our decisions to go experimental which may just save lives.

I am on a clinical trial for enzastaurin by Ely Lily.. I was stage 4 NHL Diffuse Large B Cell.. I was diagnosed in Sept 2007 and went through 6 rounds of RCHOP and started with the study at my 1 month follow up after my last chemo Treatment, so far I am cancer free it is almost 2 years. I drive 4 1/2 hours to see my oncologist every 3months... it ... Read Moreis worth the drive. I highly recommend getting out of the local small towns and going to a cancer treatment center where studies are available. I can not say enough about the care I received at MD Anderson in Orlando, FL. The way I look at it what do you really have to lose, I was stage 4, i want to do what ever I can to keep the cancer gone and if it comes back at least me being on the study may help find a cure for someelse, then I am willing to do it !

sent emails to my Senators and Congressman

I agree about the show. I think it really puts a great spin in the way the show is going. Although I don't like to see Kitty get cancer, I like the fact that they are using it in their story line. It shows more people that it can happen to them too!

Kerry I know what you mean... it seems so many other forms of cancer get the highlight... no one knows much about Leukemias and Lymphomas... I wish it got the attention that other forms of cancer do! I was diagnosed with NHL 2 years ago and went through treatment and i am just short of 2 years without recurrence... I am taking a study drug called ... Read Moreenzastaurin made by Ely Lilly... and went through treatment at MD Anderson in Orlando... I was stage 4... and I am still here! Keep your chin up and stay strong for your dad he will need you! The chemo can make you really tired... I was also very sensitive to the sun for a long time. Tell him to eat healthy it will help keep his counts good, lots of leafy green veggies and protein, Yogurts and cheese! And get out when he feels good and do things!

I promise to spend some time on the AML forum tomorrow!!

So thankful for the support this last year!

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT...

Hi Amy: I dont know you but you really have my sympathy for the loss of your mom. I am doing chemo right now. So will see how it goes. Hilde

In 2002, my dad beat esophageal cancer with a surgery I wouldn't wish on anyone. At his 1 year checkup, the docs found the NHL he has spent the last 7 years fighting. Dad was recently told he can't have chemo anymore - his system won't take it. He isn't a candidate for marrow transplant either. His cancer has been pretty slow-growing (for the ...
