Is the insurance through your husband's work? Are you in the United
States? If so, then divorce is typically considered a "qualifying
event" for COBRA status. COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget

Hi All,
Thanks for all the solid input. I appreciate it.
Zavie, I will definitely consider your suggestion.
My doc is Dr. Ron Paquette at UCLA - he's a great doctor, very
knowledgeable, and has been involved in a variety of trials. I've been
with him since day one. I was a student at UCLA when I

Hi Sean,
Attaining PCRU is definitely not worth it. This is the opinion of the CML
experts. Maintaining a 3 log reduction over time guarantees that you
will never relapse with your CML. Maintaining a 2 log reductio
Hi Karen,
My understanding is that it would involve PCR (from blood) testing on a
monthly basis. To participate in the trial it will require an initial visit
to Ann Arbor and then on an annual basis.
What is very exciting about this trial is that it is not a Big Pharma
sponsored trial.

I agree with you, it seems like people are jumping right to the newer
drugs...not giving the Gleevec time. I've been on it since being
diagnosed Jan. of '04. I've been PCRU only two times, but out of the
five different doctors I've had, not one has ever suggested doing
anything different and I
Hi Jerry,
This is very exciting news - thank you for posting it for us!! I do have one
question about the trial - would it require bmbs or aspirations? I would like
to know exactly what they would require at each 3 month visit, if possible.
Thanks so much for your info.

Dear Thomas,
My daughter's oncologist assured us that the optimal response on Gleevec was to
have the counts return to normal after three weeks. My daughter was diagnosed
very early and her wbc was only 37,000 at diagnosis, and yet her wbc did not
return to the normal range right away. So th

Lisa,
Thanks so much for your post. Knowing that there are those of you out
there, who experienced the hardship we are going through now but came
out of it after having success on Gleevec, brings us a lot of
confidence and hope.
We are hopeful that Gleevec will work for our daughter Emily too in
