Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hello to Everyone, I completed 3 months of treatment with 400mg Gleevac, get bi-monthly blood work done and see my doctor (Onc)once a month. Stanford saw me following diagnosis and has not contacted me during the three months. I have had no FISH test or PCR tests done as of yet only one BMB. My question is am I to early in the treatment to have reached cytogenic remission, and at what stage should these tests be done. I am in California and would love to talk on the phone with someone who has more experience than myself. (At my expense of course) I have not been able to join in the chats because of work. I do feel that I need more contact than just posting. I am not liking the Gleevac treatment and am currently going thru a great deal of confusion with what else can be done. I am trying to sell my business so I can focus more on my health but not even sure that is a good idea, maybe to much time to think. I have been following everyones posts here and only this groups I think it might be a bit too much to get more involved with other groups because it does get depressing after awhile. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers daily, and I pray there are changes that are coming our way thru the stem cell research. God Bless you all!
