Not to add fuel, here, however I believe that there are some recent studies
that have been mentioned to me regarding the suppression of the immune system as
a result of Gleevec. Anyone know more on this??

Subject: [CMLHope] No immune compromise
if PCRU
I recently went through a bout of acute viral
gastroenteritis. The ER
Dr. that treated me for the condition told me
that, because I had CML,
and even if it was in remission, my immune system
was compromised, and
that I was more susceptible to viral and bacterial
attacks than the
average person.
I discussed this with my hemo/onc,
normally a mild-mannered person, and
he went through the roof. He
insists that, as long as the CML is in
remission (I am PCRU), there is no
degradation of the immune system.
He was quite angry at what he considers
to be the stupidity of a
sizable segment of the medical
profession.
Since my Dr. and his team are recognized experts in the
immune system
business, I tend to accept what he says. Anyone have
any further
comment on this subject?
