Well, I have successfully made it to almost 4 years (began Gleevec on April 10th but was Diagnosed on January 8, 2003)
My PCR test came back negative AND when that happens the most sensitive test called the "nested" test must be performed. I am happy to announce to the WORLD at large that my "nested" test came back NEGATIVE, again! YEAH!!!!!! So, now the big decision comes and would appreciate any comments! I am on 300 one day and 200 the other, alternating days. That makes an average of 250 mg. Since my hemoglobin and hematocrit seems to still be affected somewhat, it seems that my husband does not want me to reduce the Gleevec to 200mg. I have constant PK testing on the Gleevec levels. I am still high in that range. Dr. Druker has given the okay for me to reduce my dosage to 200 mg everyday. So, since I am in unchartered waters, can anyone help me decide what to do...or help my husband decide what to do???
