I was never given a BMB unless I developed a problem with my blood. My onc now at Moffitt tells me, after doing 2 BMBs, that I won't have to do another unless something changes in my blood work. In a message dated 4/14/2010 9:56:30 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, lblaine...@comcast.net writes:
My onc has told me that if my CBC and BCR-ABL all come back normal, there is no need for BMB. If those numbers start changing, especially in the bcr-abl, that's when I have had to go back and have a BMB. I was on Gleevec for 1 1/2 years when my numbers starting going up on the bcr-abl, that's when I had the BMB and was switched to Sprycel. I think these "expensive" blood tests are very accurate and will give the onc a good indication of whether a BMB is necessary.
