Good news after a long year

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I received some very good news yesterday.

This time last year my Ph level was at 201%, chronic phrase CML, 800mg since

December 2005. Yesterday I received the great news that I am now at 0.33%. I

was informed that I have reached a 3-log reduction.

My consultant is not satified that I am 'in control of this disease' as his

words were, but that he wants 'complete erradication'.

There is a new study in Australia called 'Twister's'. Selected patients in PCRU

are undergoing trial by going off Glivec for a period of time, six months to a

year, to see how the body reacts. This was new to my ears.

Take care all,
