Hi
I want to try and reassure you here. It seems that Andrew from the TV programme died of a RARE disorder which was not picked up from the hospital. See Paul's post. It is very very unlikely this is going to happen to you. I don't know your circumstances but if you want to let us know how you are doing, where you are treated etc... we can support you and hopefully dispel some of your fears. The programme had to feature two patients one who did well and one who didn't and as Paul said the programme could not feature every aspect. Please don't worry, this is a rare case and it won't happen to you.
I hope you are doing well on Glivec. Happy to chat to you by private email if you wish. erees@hotmail.com
Best wishes
Elizabeth
You are here
Scared lad - reply from post below
Hi there, I just wanted to repeat what Elizabeth has already said.
Please dont feel that you are alone in fighting this, there are many people who understand what your going through.
My Son was 15 years old when he was diagnosed and he was so very scared. He is 19 now and would love to get in touch with you.
Please feel free to e mail me or my Son Aaron. My e mail is jaynelister@googlemail.com and Aaron's is ron23x@googlemail.com
