3 chromosomes a problem???

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

When I was first diagnosed they told me I had the philidelpia chromosome as well

as an

abnormality on an additional chromosome--I think it was 3. I have read on some

of the

posts that if 3 chromosomes are affected the prognosis is poorer. What does this

mean

exactly? Will the gleevec not work as well for me? I would really appreciate

hearing form

anyone who knows about this kind of stuff.

Thanks so much

Cam
