Thanks you guys for all your well wishes!!! I felt it was
important to share this ongoing drama of my progress with everyone
who is taking gleevec since it is so new still!!! It is still
quite nerve racking not knowing how long we have to take this drug
and could we ever be 'cured' from it!!! This drug is buying us time
till something better and a real cure may come along!! Good luck
to everyone!!!
hope, jeffrey c
