Tony: This Oct. 2, 2017, I will have been off Gleevec for two years.
So far, I've remained undetectable-had on blip February 2015, but Dr. Druker assured me that happens about 4 months out and that the next month would show undetectable again. Been undetectable since just like he said😀 Had my last PCR test in June at his office. I live in Miami and will be getting another PCR test this month! Keeping fingers crossed!
