Had my PCR test done thursday, the 7th, my DR. just called with results----she told me I am CMR!!!!!!!!!! I have been on tasigna since Feb. 1st. I just wanted to share with all of the people on this board-----my life line since being diagnosed!!!!!!!! I have learned more about CML from all of you sharing your life and when first diagnosed I didn't think I would stop crying---and the anxiety---it took over for the first 2 months, but the kidness from everyone here made me look at life with CML alot different -- thanks to everyone. Now--- I am looking forward to my results on paper, she said they are in the mail!!!! Time to call my blood family--wanted to share with my CML family first!!!!!!!!!! Prayers to all, granny d

Congratulations!! I could just hear your excitement in your writing. I know how beautiful that feeling is. So glad you let us know right away.
You will be getting a lot of responses, as everyone shares in your joy. This is so good when our newcomers see what is being done for CML , and where it can take you. Have a great time celebrating with all your family.

Congratulations! How kind of you to think of us first. While I am sure your family will be over the moon about the news. We here will actually comprehend EXACTLY what it means and how amazing it is to hear those words from the onc's mouth!
So glad that the board has helped with your anxiety. I think that that is what this board does best. We are never alone if we have found this place and the wonderful people who populate it!

Go, grannyd, go! Well done!
Be alert, but not overly concerned.
• Dx Oct. 22, 2008, WBC 459k, in ICU for 2 days + in hospital 1 week
• Leukapheresis for 1 week, to reduce WBC (wasn't given Hydroxyurea)
• Oct. 28, 2008: CML confirmed, start Gleevec 400mg
• Oct. 31, 2008: sent home when WBC reached 121k
• On/off, reduced dose Gleevec for 7 months
• April 2009: Started Sprycel 100mg
• Sept. 2009: PCRU 0.000
• Sept. 2011: after 2 years steady PCRU & taking Sprycel 100mg before bed, quit Sprycel (with permission)
• Currently: still steady PCRU, testing every 6 months 🤗
— Fatigue, hearing loss continue, alas, but I prefer to think it is all getting better!

Beware, Phil.. . The camera is everywhere!! I did think that you looked awfully cute in the bunny suit, but who exactly were you wiggling your little tail at, anyway??
P.S. Very, very happy and relieved about your test results. I have an even better Happy Dance video that I would post for you, but I think I've overdone the You Tube thing and need to back off for awhile. And it sounds like Pat needs to recuperate. I wouldn't want to traumatize her any more. Instead, I'll put on my spangly tights, grab a fizzy drink, and do a happy dance in your honor in front of my computer (with the web cam turned OFF).

Thanks to everyone for the kind words!!! Such a wonderful group of "friends"!!! I did put my Dr. on speaker phone, my husband was close by & I wanted him to listen in case I missed anything she said!! Glad I did, I had to ask him if I ""heard her right"""!!! He was as excited as I was!!!! Thanks again to everyone & prayers to all--granny d
