I was in some state of shock! I hadn’t mentioned that my Oncologists took me off Tasigna in the last October of 2024! I didn’t have time to think or worry about it but Dr. Luger attributed my heart blockages to the Tasigna! A proven drug that kills the Leukemia but causes PAD usually within 5 years! Right on the money! For 9 months, every month, I was having my blood tested. Every 30 days. At the end of June, I was still PCR negative. Free and clear of my CML! A miracle of sorts! I was finally feeling a little better and knew that the trip .might be grueling for me. It was 105 degrees in Rome and Florence everyday. Making this short…Lori and I had a spectacular trip. I got to drive our rental car through the winding mountain roads of Lake Como, visit Belaggio, and tour the town of Schignano where Lors father was born and grew up. We saw her grandparents Graves in the mountain cemetery. We saw so many amazing things in Rome and Florence. The Vaticans opulence was unbelievable! The engineering, the construction during the12th through 14th century. Everything, everywhere was just amazing. Our trip was perfect! Ciao! Until next time Italy!
