Subject: [CML] Zero after 4+ years !!!!!!!!
Hey group, don't post a lot but do read posts often. Been a member
here since Dec 2000 and finally after dx in Aug of 2000 hydrea,
interferon for 3 years, and now gleevec for the last 1 1/2 years,
although i've been close....zero is finally blessed me. I know that
this does not mean i'm free and clear and out of the woods yet, i
look at as being in the field beside the woods and walking farther
away from them. I never did hit zero when on interferon, came close,
real close, just never did. Bye the time 2 1/2 - 3 years came around
my body just had enough of interferon, and it started to slip. My
body was getting fried, and my brain was as well. It held the
disease at bay for a period of time and im thankful for that, but i
do not wish the stuff on anyone. I continued to work on 6 m/u daily,
never missed any time on a very busy shedule, and bye the end it
rung me out like a cloth.I started on gleevec may of last year and
it took 3 marrows to finally get to zero. Feeling far better than i
did when on interferon, side effects almost to zero, and feeling
stronger. Still awaiting my pcr results from the same draw. I found
out today that these will be qualitative which if i recall is the
better one that actually gives you an amount rather than -+.
Many thanks to the group over the years, and continued to the future.
Best to all this Holiday Season, god bless,stay well.
