Hi everyone, I just had my 24 month tests post-diagnosis. I still haven't had a MMR, but I'm really close. Doctor is fine with my results so far, especially since I have few to no side-effects on Gleevec. I'm 35, diagnosed at 33.
I know the doctors are really emphasizing quick, deep responses -- but slow and steady works too, especially if you have a good quality of life on your TKI of choice. I think the doctors are too quick to change medication at 3 months and 6 months these days.
