Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi Susie :-) Just to let you know what happened at clinic yesterday. He couldn't feel my spleen at all which is really great, am so pleased. My haemoglobin is down some and my platelets are still out but he said this is to do with the Glivec and will settle over time. The BMB is in two weeks and he's prescribed me some Ativan to take an hour before so let's hope that does something. After than I won't have to have another for 6 months or maybe a year depending how Medicare goes because they are changing the rules. NOW THEN guess what..! I asked him if he worked alongside or knew of Tim. His words were " Tim is the top CML specialist in Australia, if not the world " , he spoke very highly of him and with a huge smile on his face. They go to meetings together and work alongside each other. Sometimes some of the tests that are done here in Melbourne are sent to Adelaide to his laboratory. I felt very relieved to hear this considering that originally I was under the impression that my doctor was no more really than a GP and someone who did not really know much about CML, well its certainly the opposite. We should both feel safe knowing that we are in the hands of the best CML specialists in the world. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
