Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:20:35 +0000 http://www.journal.clltopics.org/2008/02/25/17/#comment-352 DEAR CHAYA, JUST READ YOUR UPLIFTING LETTER REGARDING HARVEY'S TREATMENT. I DON'T KNOW IF I AM A CANDIDATE FOR IT SINCE I AM 85 YEARS YOUNG AND HAVE HAD CLL FOR 14 YEARS/. MY FIRST CHEMO TREATMENT WAS IN 2002( FLUDARABINE), THEN IN 2005, I HAD FLUDARABINE AND RITUXAN, THEN IN 2007, I HAD CYTOXIN,FLUDARABINE AND RETUXAN. CURRENTLY, I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH ANEMIA. MY BODY WAS MAKING ANTI-BODIES THAT WERE DESTROYING MY RED BLOOD CELLS. I WAS PUT ON PREDNISONE AND CYCLOSPORINE AND THE RESULTS WERE GOOD. I AM STILL ANEMIC BUT MY NUMBERS HAVE IMPROVED. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. MAY HARVEY MAKE A COMPLETE RECOVERY AND MAY YOU BOTH SHARE HEALTHY, LONG LIVES TOGETHER. HELEN DEAR CHAYA,

Your work and candor have enlightened so many of us taking the same journey. Knowing that you are there, a mouse click away has given Ted and myself the only sense on calm as we attempted to make sense of what was happening to Ted. We pray for Harvey's strength in recovery.

Many patient's want to know what questions to ask about a transplant. This is an area where silence has not been golden. All my best to you as PC starts this journey. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us. You are our teacher. Love, Jenny Lou Park Chaya,
