Hey Group. . . After being diagnosed in the Accelerated Phase in November, 2003 with 800,000+ per Million. . .I began my Survival on Gleevec. I became '0~~Negative' per the FISH Test in January, 2005; and reached 0.00136 per the RT-PCR Test in 2006. After I maintained this level over a year, I knew that I would never meet my demise from our Bug it would be from one of my other 22+ Chronic Diseases. However, in February, 2008; I was 0.00021 per the RT-PCR Test, and knew that I had reached my maximum. However, yesterday I received results of PCRU per the RT-PCR Test. I know that this is accurate due to the fact that ALL my testing has been done at the same lab, by the same Dr, and at the same level 100,000. 5 years later after being given 2-5 months morbid mortality at diagnosis; not being a candidate for a BMT; and unable to enter any Clinical Trials--use any of the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation medications available. . . I AM A SURVIVAL . . .I AIN'T FINISHED YET ! ! ! Brother & Sister Survivors, please take care; and know that ALL of US aren't meant to reach '0'. . .there is no CURE for our Bug. I know that being PCRU, I have Phillies in the -3Trillion cells not examined and always will have our bug, I am only experiencing my Best Response~~not remission~~not CURE (heHeHE). I am not a Doctor, never portrayed one on TV, nor do I aspire to be a Physician in another life. This is FYI/my 2 cents only. "K"
