Hi, new member..need friends

Post by Nay » 14 Jan 2015 16:27

Hi, I was diagnosed in 2009 with CMML (t 5:12). It's been a long journey but I'm doing well on glivec and still in remission. It's just a lonely road and feel alienated. No questions can be answered as not many younger people with this. I just wanted to say hi and hope I can make some friends on here :)) xxx

Hi Nay

Sorry to hear you feel you're on your own. There's a lot of support both here and on the Facebook page and despite this disease being prevalent in older people we do have some 'youngsters' too - some of them have gone to run Marathon's, so not all bad. Say hello on the FB page (I'm on that quite a lot.......) and if you need help just let us all know.

Thankyou everyone. I've achieved a lot too and did a parachute jump not long ago to raise funds for Anthony Nolan :) so I'm coping with what I have I just need someone to have a moan to every now n then ...and to be there for them too. I'm very lucky and come a long way so feel I've got the experience for the newbies out there. Lots o love nay xxx
