Thanks for your concern.  This "leukemia thing" is a lifetime worry.  I am on oral treatment.  So far the disease has been reduced to extremely low levels, but it doesn't go away.  We're not told we're in remission, we're in "response".  That's because the disease will come back if those of us on the drug quit taking it.  There are other drugs in trial that may even be better, but for now I'm grateful to be stable.  I feel fine with only a few side effects.  I can work fulltime and none of my coworkers even knows.  There are cases where patients lose their response to the drug.  That's where the worry comes in.  I try not to think about that.  So far, I'm well and plan to keep it that way.

 

Thanks for asking!!
