Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well thanks for the responses. Nice to feel welcome and also nice to find others who are at a similar stage to me. I have 2 questions (so far) ...what is the zero club? And the next one is longer.... My onncologist and the haemotologist I saw both seem to feel that because I am " so young " (47 is young?) I should be considering a Bone Marrow Transplant within a year of diagnosis. My gut is telling me that if, in a years time, the Gleevec is still doing its job why should I go through the transplant? When I say this to them they just shake their heads wisely and tell me they understand why I should feel that way but Gleevec is not a cure and the BMT is the only way to go. Am I being naive to think this way? Especially if I continue to tolerate the Gleevec well? By the way, if you are wondering about the weird name..Regent and Mahogany are my horses. Jane is my own name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
