Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Hi all, well just a update for wishes to know. I saw Tim and yes he suggested I have a BMT. He said given my age and my donor, now would be a good time. He did phone about the new drug and said i need be able to fill in three catagaries before i would even be looked at. Well i have two of them.. He will make contact with my next wednesday. If that fails, then he suggested interferon...i freaked cause ive only heard bad news about that but he assured me there was successful stories. But he said given my toxic level..he didnt think I would handle that either. I asked about going on Gleevec with a 200 or 300mg dose..he isnt happy with that. So he told my hubby and me to go home and think hard about doing transplant...He gave me stastistics and then said if i survived then he could promise me 20 years ..but he said with all the new drugs that are coming although sound good...they cant promise that..saying that though he knows i have a sister who is 100% match...but that still dosnt ease my mind..hehe...but ill sit and wait till next wednesday and hopefully have more to tell you at chat.. fingers x.. Thanks guys for your support its been great.. and a big hug to zavie..hes my insperation...love him..thanks zavie.. still in adelaide having a few days break be speak to you all soon..
