PCR result

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Well after being dx in July last year and commencing Glivec at the end of

September with a few short breaks in between due to side effects, I got the

result of my first Q- PCR.

On diagnosis: 6,000% and after 3 months of Glivec is now down to 13.01%

which is just over a 2 log reduction, needless to say my haem/t and I are

both very happy. All my blood work is perfect...his words " good enough to

get into NASA " LOL!

In Australia for some reason the specialists tend to be more aggressive and

want their pts on 600mg + and he is keen for me to go to this level

next.....I'll wait and see as I am still getting migraines roughly once a

month, which we feel may be hormone linked as I used to get these when I was

a teenager and Glivec as we know certainly seems to upset us ladies! Hip hip

horray I have had a hysterectomy.

Regards,

Australia
