Thanks, Jeanie. Yes, they are checking for mutations. I'm actually hoping my tests come back with lower numbers, as I feel more energized than I did several months ago. Thank goodness for the new drugs! Sent from my iPad > On Jun 6, 2015, at 1:25 PM, 'Icandoallttc' via CMLHope > wrote: > > H

Have them check for mutations. Gleevec quit working for me after 5 years. I had a mutation. Tasigna never worked for me and was put on sprycel. Sprycel worked for about 5 years and had another mutation. I am now on ponatinib. 6 months into treatment. Good luck. Prayers & Blessings Jeanie 🐟

Thanks, Beth and Jeanie. After 6 years o Gleevec, I've gone out of PCRU and the numbers are slowly climbing. They aren't high and I'm still considered to be in MMR. If this test shows that they are still on the rise, it is likely I'll be switched to Tasigna or bumped up to 60 mg Gleevec. I've al
