Blog Topics: Your Chance to Choose

It has been almost three years since I started this blog; it was initially conceived in order to keep my family and friends updated with my progress in my battle with chronic myelogenous leukemia. When I was diagnosed, I was immediately hospitalized and began treatment; my diagnosis came as a shock to everyone, including me. It wasn’t as if I had been ill and finally had a diagnosis, so when the news began to spread, thanks to Facebook, the calls flooded in.

I was too ill to talk, and Joe was overwhelmed with having to repeat the story over and over again, so as soon as I was back at home and able to write, I kept everyone updated through this blog. What I began to realize was that I needed to educate myself; I needed to understand what CML was, and how it was going to affect my life.

Eventually it became apparent that I was not the only one that had questions; and wanted answers. My family and friends also wanted information; so I continued to blog. What I have found over time is that my blog has helped other newly diagnosed CML patients, as well as many veterans. It appears that it has filled a void so I shall continue.

I thought that since so many of you have been such a huge support, I would give you the opportunity to request a blog topic. I know what my questions, concerns, rants and raves are, and now I would like to hear some of yours’. So you can either leave a comment here, or email me personally and I will see what I can do to fulfill your request!

Thanks for all of your support,

Michele
