so, in spite of up and down results on my bcr-abl tests over the course of the last 15 months, i had a new BMB (actually because after up and down results and a new onc, we wanted to make sure there were no new mutations), and i'm at MMR! my onc is offering the option to switch to either sprycel or tasigna and push for 0 so i could look at a treatment vacation. i'll think about that later, for now, i'm so excited.

i'm at MMR! happy dance!

So awesome.
I love hearing when anyone achieves a significant milestone, but it is extra sweet when it is someone who has had a rough go of it and overtime manages to overcome.
Congratulations, I am really happy for you.
