Welcome to the group.

The higher doses of Gleevec have had good results. What percentage Philidelphia did she have?

Hi
I'm Steve and my wife Vanessa was diagnosed with CML 4 weeks ago. I
found CML Hope on the net last night and it looks like a terrific
support network. Vanessa's WBC count was 250,000 she was treated with
Interferon and once the Philadelphia Chromozone was detected put
straight onto 600Mg of Gleevec. Her WBC last week was at 5200 which was
terrific, but now she is down to 2,000.
Has anyone else experienced this with Gleevec that the WBC drops below
the normal levels before normalising and how long did it take to
normalise?
The other question is around doseage of Gleevec. I gather there are
some proponents of 400Mg to start with, but Vanessa was put straight
onto 600Mg. Is this common?

Let me know
thanks
Steve
