Hi Jeanie, your test results have me beat by a mile and I started Gleevec on Jan. 9th 2000 at 300 mg. each day. Here are some of my results. WBC 5.9 RBC 3.71 L Hemoglobin 12.5 L Hematocrit 37.3 L MCV 33.7 MCHC 33.5 Platelets 176 RDW 13.5 Absolute Neutrophils 3.4 Absolute Lymphocytes 1.8 Glucose 95 Blood Urea Nitrogen 18 Calcium 8.7 Protein Total 6.9 Albumin 4.2 ALT 31 AST 39 H this the 3rd time that it's been this high in over 13 years. It was 51 a few months ago but the Doctor told me not to worry about it. Sodium 140 Chloride 105 Potassium 3.9 Creatinine 1.44 H it's been between 1.1 to 1.4 going back to 1997 before I found out I had CML. I found out that I had CML two weeks before Christmas 1998. I would like to get my RBC higher but my Doctor keeps telling me to just leave it be. Like they say if it's not broken don't try to fix it. They was a time that when I first started taking Gleevec my WBC dropped to 2.6 and told me not to worry. Dam it's hard not to worry when things like this happen. They see these results on other people but we don't so it's hard to compare what is good and what's back. Anyway your tests look good so keep what ever your doing and don't change anything.
