Hi Jeanie,
If I read the story correctly (hopefully I did)
I think that it was referring to the treatment of interferon.
The choice of that treatment back then was also a hard one to make. The side
affects were horrible to say the least. Unlike chemo that�s given over
periods of time it was a daily injection.
Sorry I don't remember if you ever took that treatment yourself so I
apologize if I am explaining something you may already know.
I personally took interferon daily and ARC injections 10 days a month for a
whole year!
And the quality of life was no where near what I have with Gleevec. Thank
God.
Although, I promise I am not being uncompassionate about those who do have a
much tougher time with Gleevec and I do know how fortunate I am to tolerate
it so well.

Yes, I enjoyed that story also.
I wonder how many of us sometimes feel the treatment is worse than the
disease.
Let's just all sing the song that Zavie sent.
Kill Kill Kill hehe.
Blessings to all.
