In the beginning....
Here is my first attempt at blogging. I am not a professional writer or even a blogger. My reason behind my blog is to archive my story. I have no agenda. I am pretty clueless about blogs and have no clue who will even find the time, energy, or desire to even read my ramblings... THIS is about me and my daily life.. On December 13th 2010 I saw an Oncologist for the first time. She told me that she thought I had Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. From that day, I have been on an up and down battle. Some days I feel like I am in an elevator on the top floor of a 100 story building, only to plunge to the ground floor in 2.2 seconds. Other days I feel like I have no worries, grateful for each moment God allows me to be alive and fight this disease. I make no excuses for what I am about to say, no apologies if I offend... I have no clue why I have CML, I don't know how long my life will be or what the future will hold.. This is my therapy, my trials, and my Journey... My only advice...hold on and enjoy the ride.

Jamie-
ReplyDeleteYou are such a strong woman. I know you will beat this and live to see all your kiddos get married and kids of their own. I am so lucky to know you.
Hi, I found your blog through Michele's "dancing thru lukemia". I too am 40 and live in Boise and have been diagnosed with CML for about 4 years now. I have 10 month old boy girl twins and still in denial that I have Leukemia. It is an ongoing journey. I wish you well and would love talk if you ever need anything.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to say Hi and I'm so glad to see you dancing. It's important for the soul to be happy too!
ReplyDeleteI have heard others complain about the scalp discomfort and the tip I learned was to gently massage your scalp. It has really helped me.
I saw your post on Cowpokes, so I came over here and read your blog. You have some wondrous descriptive qualities. I have CLL, diagnosed 1/8/10, tried to go the raw green way until my anemia caused me to faint and crack my head open, needing 12 staples to put me back together again... I had four months of a treatment and am waiting to find out if I have to do another two months first of the year. Mine is also not curable. You found out on my birthday, and wrote your first blog on my baby brother's birthday. He died in 1993... but still communicates to me... as he has through you to me today. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your journey. Well done Jaime.
