Hi I'm Steve and my wife Vanessa was diagnosed with CML 4 weeks ago. I found CML Hope on the net last night and it looks like a terrific support network. Vanessa's WBC count was 250,000 she was treated with Interferon and once the Philadelphia Chromozone was detected put straight onto 600Mg of Gleevec. Her WBC last week was at 5200 which was terrific, but now she is down to 2,000. Has anyone else experienced this with Gleevec that the WBC drops below the normal levels before normalising and how long did it take to normalise? The other question is around doseage of Gleevec. I gather there are some proponents of 400Mg to start with, but Vanessa was put straight onto 600Mg. Is this common?
