Hi all,

I had posted a few months ago about my disappointing 3 month test results on 400mg Gleevec. I was going to wait to see the 6 month test results before I made any decisions about changing course. I just got the 6 month results and I'm beyond pleased:

7/25/12 10/17/12 1/23/13

FISH 97% 71% 4%

PCR (IS) 145% 39.7% 5.7%

Log Reduction 0.56 1.4

I'm really glad the Gleevec has "kicked in" because I have no side effects (except for some minor bloating). April can't come fast enough, and hopefully I will find out that I had a CCyR.

Diagnosed with CML in July 2012 (33 years old)

Hi: I hope you continue to do well, and that the Gleevec keeps doing its job. I have been on Gleevec since 2000, and have been PCRU for 10 years. Congratulations on your great response.
