Suzieq that's good news, now I can talk to my Doctor about the 200mg because I've been taking 300mg for over 12 years. I started Gleevec on Jan. 9, 2000 at 400 mg and receive the Gleevec rash so they didn't know anything about it that's when they dropped me down to 300 mg. Glad to here the good news for you. greenie In a message dated 12/12/2012 10:21:56 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, sheila.a.wat...@gmail.com writes:
Good Day to all my fellow CML Survivors: I finally received my test results from my last visit (November 21st) with my Onc./Hem. in St. Louis. I guess because of the holidays, it took a while getting to me. (smile) I am still "None Detected" all across the board! HALLELUJAH!!!! I have tested this now each time since July 12, 2010. And, this time I thought it would be most important since it was 1 year since cutting my Gleevec from the 400mgs I had been taking since day one (Feb. '04) in half to 200mgs. So, it is working just fine! My body seems to have adjusted to the 200mgs. and I don't have any problems with taking it as I did with the 400. I am still having a lot of joint pain, but not a whole lot I can do about it. I did talk with her about how I think we are going to have to address this within the next year. I told her that maybe they could send me to some doctor that specializes in Arthritis. Well, just wanted to share this. I want to also wish every one a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. God bless you one and all throughout the New Year, too!
