I went out to dinner with my husband, Billy, last night - I had to pay because he didn't have any cash, but we needed some time together, We were rushed because he worked overtime, then I had to go in and work all night, but at least we had about 2 hours together. I've been wanting to spend more time with him, but I feel like it's even more important now. His boss, Jimmy, did tell him that he'd try to arrange for him not to have to work overtime on weekends when I'm off, so we can see eachother. Jimmy said he'd have given him the day off yesterday if he'd have known, so we coulkd be together after I found out - he lost his daughter to leukemia, so he knws what it's like to have a loved one sick and not be able to be with them. It scares me a little, hearing about someone else who died of cancer - it is just so common here.

Hello Raine
I hope you are not offended that I post a comment here. I have found tremendous help from a site after my 22 year old son was diagnosed with CML a month ago. Maybe the site can help you too. Here it is:
http://newcmldrug.com/Discuss/default.asp. These folks are wonderful!
Email me if you need or want to: ibannie@comcast.net. You are not alone - even tho it must feel like it much of the time.
We have put a blog site together for Steven, my son: www.livingwithcml.blogspot.com. Feel free to visit there too - its just from my side though.
Its terribly scary this CML, even from my viewpoint in it all, I could not pretend to understand what its like from your side. But, as everyone says - this is "the good cancer" to get if you were going to get cancer at all. The more you learn, the more your family and friends learn, the less scary it gets and the quicker you can all get back to 'normal'. Don't be alone, Raine, please dont be alone. It sounds like your mom will figure it out, or worry more than necessary. Go tell her, cry with her and your husband and your friends - it really does get less scary - and we are only one month into this new life.......... We set up the blog about Steven so that family and friends dont keep bugging us - so that Steven or I did not have to "pick them up" when we did not have the strength for this. I just told everyone to go and read about it and I would call them when I could manage it.
Take care of yourself. And email me if you need to vent. Visit that site too - they really are a blessing there and so full of information and caring.
Love and Light and much strength to you all
Annie
