Greetings CMLers -
As you can see below, my numbers on Iclusig, or Ponatinib, have been, well, slowly heading in the right general direction. I am by no means one of those who reach important milestones quickly. While I have been on Iclusig (30 mg/day) for two-plus years now, I still haven't been below 1% on my PCR test.
My hope is I will still get there by November, when I "celebrate" my 10-year cancerversary. Now that would be something worth celebrating!
Until then, slow goes the turtle. I am clearly traveling at my own pace. My hope is that I do, indeed, arrive!
