Hello everyone, and welcome to everyone!

I encourage all members to post a introductory message telling a
little something about yourselves, if you want to. Of course, if you
wish to remain quite anonymous, that is perfectly acceptable also.

It would be interesting to see which member has taking Glivec (or
STI-571 or CPG57148) the longest. I think I may have a chance of
using Glivec for the shortest time, having just started on Jan. 31st.

So . . . perhaps if nothing else . . . you might post something like:

"Hi, I'm fossileyesd and I've been eating Glivec for nine days now
and I AM LOVING IT."

I am very glad that good interest is being shown in this discussion
group, and that we are gaining a few members most every day now. I
believe we can build a useful resource on the web here, and also have
some fun whilst doing it! Feel free to upload files and bookmarks
and pictures, to join in a chat, and to just make yourselves at home.
You "own the place", might as well enjoy it, eh?

I'll often have the chat room loaded into one browser window - while I
read messages (or whatever) in another window - when I find myself to
be alone in the chat room. I then peek into the chat room from time
to time to see if anyone has shown up. So if I appear to be "in" the
chat room, but not responding, wait a while and I'll be back.

Again, welcome and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Your "fossileyesd" friend,
