[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1630632, member: 345386"] What a blow, shellysexbomb. I'm not in any way trivialising your diagnosis, or it's impact on your life in any way, but if it could be any consolation, I'll mention that my neighbour's chap was diagnosed with CML (different variant of the CL, obviously), 19 years ago and he still lives a very full life and plays golf most day. He does complain about one of his knees hurting some times, but then will be 80 on his next birthday and had the other one replaced a few years ago, due to general wear and tear. He reckons it's about time for the second, and my wager is he'll crack on and have it done. This guy seems to have excellent care, under the NHS, with very regular checks and of course, as we might expect for a long term condition, the occasional tweak to his meds. He sometimes comments he can't take the late nights like he used to, but I can't party as he still seems to! The one concession he seems to make to his condition is that he'll try to avoid folks with winter colds and flu, but then, maybe that's plain common sense. Good luck with it all, and please do ensure you take all the support and education you can pay your hands on. I'm sure, for me, that would be a big part of learning to accept and live with it.
