I was diagnosed with CML earlier this year and have had a good blood response to Glivec. I am generally not into Western Medicine.
My dr told me the other day if I had a 0% reading on my PCR then I would have 100% chance of living 5 years and I was cured. The definition of cured being I would continue on Glivec. Well like many others I am grateful for Glivec but not sure what quality of life it is with the side effects. So my questions are: 1. Has anybody decided to go off Glivec after dramatically changing their diet? 2. What supplements are we allowed to take and what are we not. My dr seems to roll his eyes when I mention supplements. 3. What generally happens if you go off Glivec? Does it all come flooding back. 4. If you go off Glivec for a short period does this create resistance to the drug. 5. Has anybody cured themselves by alternative therapies? I am not sure if there are many folks that are on this board that are just alternative health folks? Are there alternative health folks that have come to the decision that the only way to go is Glivec. Anybody cured themselves naturally by dramatically changing their life. Anybody figured out if there is a link between leukemia and candida. Oh so many questions. I believe in quality of life not quantity so hence my thought process. Cheers.
