I just wanted to let you know that mum lost her fight with CMML and passed away Wednesday 16th November. The drug Azacitidine just stopped working, her white blood count shot through the roof, she eventually developed Pnemonia. Within 7 days my dear mum was gone. I am devastated...

Dear Denine

I am so sorry to hear this sad news of your mother. You worked so hard to ensure that your Mum got the very best treatment that was available and you were clearly a loving and supportive daughter to her throughout her difficult illness.

Please accept my sympathy for you and your family at such a sad time.

Hi Denine

I am truly sorry to hear your Mum has passed away. It is very sad news and my heart goes out to you.

When you feel ready, read a book called the Angels of 9 11. It might help you.

Dear Denine,

Have just returned to this Forum after some time of absence for various reasons and I was so sorry to read your very sad news that your dear Mum has lost her bravely fought battle. You have clearly been such a great source of strength to your Mum and those of us who have already lost loved ones will know the pain you must be feeling right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thank you all for your kind words. Mum's funeral is this Friday, it's been a week since she passed away, keep wishing it was a dream and I'd wake up and she'd be here, but alas it's not a dream. I have to be strong for Dad, he's in his 80's, bless him, he's not coping too well.
This forum has helped me so much since mum was diagnosed with CMML, I am so glad I found you all.
Stay safe everyone
love
Denine

Hi

I am having Aza injections for five days every 21 days, I have a bad reaction on my arms and legs each time with very painful blistering. Has anyone else experienced this and is there something that could help with the pain or stop it happening most things hospital have tried doesn't work ........Mollie
