Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi Tracey, The New York Times says he died of complications of CLL. It said he has had this a long time but only recently ran into problems because of an infection.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Did anyone else hear that Ed Bradley died of complications of CML and gleevec? Someone called and told me. What is the life expectancy of being diagnosied with CML and on gleevec? I know untreated CML is about 3-5 years. I'm curious, it's something I hadn't thought of before.

It's quite the opposite with CML, the white count will be higher than normal. Good luck, Tracey > > indication of leukemia?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 You were misinformed. He had CLL and probably never even knew what Gleevec was. /message/3915 > > > > indication of leukemia?
