Hi Richard, It sounds like you are having as much fun as I am hehe. I've never taken Procrit; I wonder why my onc hasn't mentioned it. My counts are usually too high, not low, but that Tasigna knocked them for a loop. It didn't play around. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/4/2008 9:23:17 P.M. P

I have 2 ONC's and both recommend that when my Hemg reaches 8 that I head to the hoospital for type and match and 2 pints. I had transfusions from Nov 2006 thru May 2007. I went off 400mg Gleevec and my counts started to rise on their own. In Jan. 2008 I was again detectable so went back on 400m
