John,
When you were on sprycel did you get to PCRU? My husband was on sprycel for 3
years and then, just as you, had to go off because of pleural effusion. He was
undetectable for 2 years and lost his PCRU in 2 months. He is now on
bosulif.....first 100 mg which was not working.....then on 200 mg which he will
find out in July if it is doing anything good.
I am not familiar with omacetaxine. Can you enlighten us on what it is and
what it is for?
Wish you well on ponatinib.
Joyce in IL
