maryanne,


My heart goes out to you and I will pray for your recovery. I am at a loss on what treatment you can undergo to get rid of the leukemia. Since leukemia is a system wide lesion, the treatment must be for the whole body, I suppose. Keep up with your fighting spirit and be brave.

Ann

You are stronger than this,
 

Dear MaryAnne,

You are in my thoughts and prayer. We all love you and know with your strong will and courage you will win this battle again.

Love and hugs,

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Maryanne. "Be of good courage for He is your guide."

OH, I am so........sorry to hear of your new diagnosis. I am glad you posted so we can all join in to encourage you. Keeping you in prayers...

I am sending you prayers and strong wishes for recovery. Two of my cousins had childhood leukemia (they are fine now) , so I wasn't happy to read that leuk could be side effect of chemo. I am amazed at the fighting spirit of women on this board and in my weekly support group. We are all soldiers here. MJo

Spoke with my friend
 

Spoke with my friend who went through the exact same thing - she said she'd be happy to talk to you. Let me know.

Maryann-

I was so sorry to read your initial post, and please know you are in our thoughts and prayers - and I can't wait to hear of some good news for you, so you'll have that signature with the swirls around it, which always brings me a smile when I see your posts...

hang in there...

Dear Maryann


My girlfriend (who helped me through the beginning process as she got bc 2.5 yrs before me) got AML just after I was diagnosed. At the time (since I was just having my surgery and really didn't know anything yet) she told me it was that lightning struck twice but later admitted it was because of chemo (and that the cytoxan is the likely culprit). She is 18 months from her last treatment for AML and is doing wonderfully. She is also doing well on the bc front as well (she was only ER/PR+ ).

I am sure she would talk to you and if you would like, privately email me and I will get her your phone number so she can call you. She got treatment from Dr. Fazi Bari at Morristown General (Carol Simon Cancer Center) in Morristown, NJ.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kindest regards,

Becky

Marriane, I'm sooo sorry that you have to face this new challenge. It never seems fear. As you can see from all these posts, the one thing that you will not have to worry about is the love, support and prayers that will be heading your way. I hope your new road to recovery is as quick and easy as possible.

I know that I have had that concern too. I have been on chemo 8 times and I have had radiation 4 times now.I'm so sorry to hear your news. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated. Patty H

Maryann,

I join all of the rest of our friends in wishing you strength and confidence as you battle back against this latest blow. Please know that we are all here rooting you on.

Hugs,
Cynthia

Maryann - I am so sorry you have to go through yet another treatment. You are in my thoughts and prayers. This too will pass. Keep fighting. Hugs.

Maryann,

I've been away from the computer and now have just read your post. Extremely sorry to hear of this new and scarey news that you have to endure. Just go into it with the NY attitude and don't let it get you down. Us NY'rs are really good fighters, esp. when we give attitude! You'll make it through, esp. with all of us pulling for you through our prayers, thoughts and hugs being sent.

Thinking and praying for you. Keep your chin up.

Sue

Hang in there Maryann. If we can outlast this thing a few more years, I think Science will come to the rescue. Will pray for you. BB
