Hi All

FISH result was 100% negative BCR/ABL1 rearrangement while am taking 200 mg gleevec for almost 10 months. I was diagnosed on 8/2011 my WBC was 40 K. I started 400 mg gleevec on Oct 2011 and my WBC went to 1.7 K so my oncologist asked me to stop for 1 month. I resumed taking gleveec on Dec 2011 but with lower dosage (200 mg). Since then my WBC is fluctuating between 2.1 K and 3.1 K  but thank god I reached 100% negative on FISH test.

This for only sharing my case with you all. any comments I'll be happy

The lower dosage (200mg Gleevec) can work for some people.  CCyR in 12 months is a good response for a long drug break and only 200mg for most of that time.

Congratulations  That is a very good response you had.  Hope you continue to do well as you stay on the lower dose.
