Re: hello,am new

Hello vanq and welcome.  I'm so sorry about the loss of your baby and about your diagnosis - so much to handle in such a short time.  I know very little about CML (I have NHL) or Gleevec but there is no one on here who could answer your question because we aren't doctors and can't make diagnosis or offer medical advice.  These would be the type of questions you should as your doctor.  But there is a board specific to CML - scroll down the forum lists and click on "Living with...."  and then scroll to the CML.  There you will find others with CML who can offer you support and encouragement.  They will understand and help you through this.

 

Kind thoughts being sent to you as you begin this new journey in life and hope your treatment is very successful!

 

Peace and blessings

Sharon

Here is some info regarding pregnancy and Gleevec. The best thing to do is talk with your doctor.

Hello,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am also a CML patient and have had a sucessful pregnancy in 2006 when I gave birth to my son. We are thinking of dicussing with my doctor the possiblites of having another baby. I highly recommend you talk with your doctor first and see what they have to say. If you have any questions let me know I will try to help as much as I can.
