Hi everyone, it's been sometime since I've posted but wanted to get some opinions. We went to see our oncologist at Sloane in NY today and received mixed news. Vanessa's standard cytogenic test and Fish is absent of any Philadelphia chromosome. She was 100% +ve at diagnosis. This is after 4 months, which i gather is a great result. Is it?
The Molecular tests still show evidence of the leukemia. What should we be looking for and asking for next? However, in relation to her bloods that were taken today, her White cells are at 1.7 (4 weeks ago they were at 5.6) and her platelets are down to 117. As a consequence she has come off the Gleevec for a week and had an injection to stimulate white cell production. She is having additional blood tests next week to check the Blood Counts and we'll take it from there. The onc is talking about putting her back on 300Mg of Gleevec. She has just come off 400mg. As you can imagine, it has been another day on the rollercoaster. Any views, comments and observations would be very welcome, especially if any of you have had similar experiences. stay well Steve --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
