After a fast 3 week holiday I am back on 300mg. Gleevec. Seems my Platelets jumped the most. The neutrophils only slowly came back - but enough that the Oncologist said time to start up again. I was told that when the pressure is off the marrow from Gleevec that they often they see the Platelets jump first and then settle back. So I was told not to worry about it. The concern is still with the Neutrophils - so we'll see what Gleevec at 300 mg. does.
I'm back on the watchful waiting Gleevec taking program. The Oncologist doesn't even want to do a PCR test until November when my bone marrow biopsy is due. And I don't go back for a CBC for two weeks.
