Hello

Hello,

My name is John Calderwood. I believe it was this site I spent the better part of my days back in 2000-2003. I was diagnosed with CML June 2000 and went on a trial for STI 571 (gleevec). Some names I remember (and I should know more) are Jennifer Gangloff, Suzanne Dreger, Lynn, Dane and of course Zavie Miller. I heard of his passing today and was moved to see if any of the members from 2000-2002 are still here. I was also wondering if anyone had a list of the zero club members. A   long time ago I had one. I remember participating in a  Thank you card for Dr. Druker. Still cannot believe Zavie is gone. I was suppose to meet him a while ago and never did. Anyway I would love to hear if there is zero club list anywhere and if there are still older members around. Thank you .

Hi John,

yes there are plenty of people still around from those early years.... including me. Regarding the Zero Club, I heard today that there might be a way of preserving this- but that will depend on various factors. I will let you know if and when I hear more.

Best wishes,

Sandy

Hi John, it's Suzanne Dreger, though I am Suzanne Hope these days.  I was deeply saddened as well to hear of Zavie's death.  He was a good man who helped many people over the years. 

I'm still around, on occasion.  Mostly, I've tried to let my "cml" self be dormant and I try to keep it in the background of my day-to-day life.  Though, of course, there are always questions to be answered and I try to keep up with the latest developments.

 

Glad to hear you remember me and that you're doing well (at least it seems so).

 

Suzanne
