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???

Hugs,
Susan Rosenthal
