Dear Anjana, Thank you for your reply and the information. I really dont know what my Dr. is thinking, he has me kinda confused at the moment and really upset. I agree, he should have put me on something else if he was taking me off of gleevec. Apparently they caught my CML very early, and I

Pat, Not yet, but that is what I am afraid of. I have had a lot of pain in that area in the past few months. So I was just asking the question would my spleen get enlarged since I was off of gleevec. Hugs, Katy --SHIH-POO Puppies now available! First shot and wormed. Email me for more info! x

Amen Anjana,   Katy, please get on your doctor's rear end, and either get back on Gleevec, or try Sprycel!! I am wondering why he is waiting myself?

Dear Katy, Spleen will get enlarged only when the white counts go up to 50,000 and up. With remission, there are several stages, first you have complete hematologic remission when the blood counts get normal from high counts, then comes cytogenetic remission when the BMA test on 20 cells show

Katy,   This is Pat F.  I was on Sprycel after G intolerance, but waited until the med could get to me (insurance) and my spleen did get enlarged.  WC went up to 64K+/Platelets were up to 1,700K+.  Darn right your spleen will enlarge.  Is your spleen getting larger?     Pat --~--~-~--

Anjana, Thank you for your reply and the information. I am afraid. Plain and simply afraid. I am confused by what my doctor is doing and unsure of why. I have slowly been slipping into a kind of depression over the last few days. I feel like when I first found out that I had CML to begin with

Dear Katy, 0.169% is not a low PCR value since you relapsed from 0 to 0.169%. In most labs 1-2% correlates to 10-20% Ph+. I know a patient whose doctor started Sprycel when his PCR went positive after he was off Gleevec for intolerance. The doctor did not wait for the patient to have a 20-50%
