Re: [CML] Question about blood counts and stopping treatment

[ICANDOALLTTC]

Yes, My Dr stopped all meds when my counts crashed. They came back up to normal faily quickly and he put me back on 400 mgs. I think this is a normal practice for blood crashing.

At his last blood test his WBC counts were 2.3, he had just got over a cold and the doctor said to get his counts done 2 weeks later to see if they were still down there. He just got the results and they were still at 2.3. The doctor has suggested that he come off his 400mg gleevec for 7-10 days then re-assess his counts. We are rather scared about stopping the treatment, does anyone know what the guidelines are for WBC counts and stopping treatment. New!
