My take on the stopping of the drugs after being negative for several years, I think that is up to the person and their doctor. I, personally, did not feel comfortable in completely quitting Gleevec after being on 400mgs. since February 2004. What I did ask my Doctor was if we could lower the do

Hi Everyone: I had me four month's Dr's. visit yesterday along with a bone marrow biopsy & aspiration (first since Feb.2005). All went well except labs as the technician had trouble with the vein rolling on her, but I'm not too sure it wasn't her that was the problem by the way she was going

For my piece of mind, I would get another opinion before going through a transplant. Dr.Hannah Khoury (my first hem/onc. at Siteman whom I dearly loved) told me that most bone marrow transplants only had a 20% to 25% cure rate and that's with a perfect match. He said that they only do those a
