Congratulation!!
Look like Sprycel works great for you. It is amazing that you get a zero in just three weeks on it, after years on the other two TKIs.

OK, I'm kind of new at this and I don't really understand all the blood appreviations. Zero what?
I go to the dr in Feb., it will be 7 months on Sprycel. What should I be looking for?
Last blood work in Nov. I forgot to ask about WBC count but doc did say mutant chromozones were at 28%. Thats all I remember. Hubbys coming w/ me in Feb.
Any advice as to what to ask and what to look for would be helpful.
Also, I've been very itchy the past week. Palms of hands and side of knee, ALOt, back and head a little. Where it's itchy on the knee a bruise has now formed. Should I be concerned?
Happy New Year to all
