Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hello Zavie! I dopn't post too often but have in the past and have e-mailed you directly. I was just curious how low you FISH has to be to get in the zero club? I was diagnosed in Aug. 2005 with 98% of my cells being leukemic and started 400mgs of gleevec. I have the problem of nutropenia and my local hemo/onc started playing with my dose and by Christmas I was on 400 mgs every other day. By March my cells started rising they were at 28% and Mayo clinic ordered another bmb. I then started taking 400 mgs every day and repeated the FISH to show an increase in May to 68% so I stared taking 800 mgs (ordered by my Mayo doc) and have tolerated it very well, other than the netropenia so I've had a few nulasta shots. Last FISH I had 2 weeks ago showed 3.8% and I am due to have another draw Oct. 4. I'm just glad things are going in the right direction again. In Nov. of last year my FISH showed 3.4% but that's when my local doc started messing with the dose. THANKS!
