Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 As most of you know...I am on here for my best friend Stacey. The site is fantastic. HEre's where we are.... Doctor's appt yestruday....BOne biopsy 2 weeks prior. I hope I am saying all of this correctly. Doctor is stating 91% good cells. 9% bad. The 9% is of GREAT concern. She should be in remission already from the Gleevac and she's not. Double the dose of Gleevac from 400mg to 800mg....apparently the side effects are greater per the dose. In three months they will go back, do another bone bioposy and if NOTHING has changed....and if she is not in BLAST phase by then....either a bone marrow transplant or possibly a new drug. Does any of this sound or make sense to anyone. I guess we were just hoping for some better news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
