One of my Best Friends, Brother from another Mother - Brian Ray. I've known him 31 plus. This man would do anything for his family especially his kids. He is a single father raising 2 kids. But this passed yr or so he was hit with some terrible news that no one wants to hear he has Cancer. He has lost his job due to missing bc of his meds w/ his side effects. This part is from him. I was diagnosed back in April of 2024 with chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) I started chemo medicine early may 2024 the medicine they had me on worked for a while and got my white blood cell down but after about 8 months on it my body stopped responding to the medication so i went to get a 2nd opinion by another oncologist which was recommended by my oncologist so they could discuss my blood labs so they put me on another chemo medicine and it was working but not how

They wanted it to so they increased the dosage of that same medicine it’s called sprycel after a about a month or so I started getting horrible side effects when they increased my dosage and kept making me sick to my stomach light headed dizzy nausea diarrhea off and had to call off days where I was really sick so I start my new medicine today and they said it shouldn’t have many side effects I was missing work because of being sick from the side effects and also horrible fatigue I could

Barely get out of bed some days. Please anything would help and his family big time. Thank you
