Today is the first day I've felt "normal" in over a week. No bone pain, no nausea, no vertigo, and I actually felt energetic (I didn't get out of bed till 11am, but we'll let that slide for now). It was fantastic!
I went to work today and actually did some work. This evening Wendy, Leu and I walked downtown and enjoyed the wonderful weather and tasty salmon tacos on the patio at Rosy's on the Beach.
Tomorrow morning it's off to Stanford. I need a checkup to see how my blood is doing now that I'm back on the Gleevec.
In addition to my own personally fabulous day, I found a news article about research being done in Australia that has made some advances in targeted therapies for blood cancers. I love science... :-)
What Is This?
I was diagnosed on June 13, 2008 with a form of cancer called Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). In short, this means I have a chromosomal abnormality that causes my bone marrow to produce too many white blood cells.
This blog chronicles my personal experience with the disease.
