Shari, congratulation. Your results are the same as my, I was dxd in January 2003 and start 400mg Gleevec in February 20 , 03. I achieved CCR in July 03. My lfirst QPCR result in December 2004 was 0.06. Dr. List at Moffit Center in Tampa told me during my January 5th visit, that I am doing fine and to achieve faster results or PCRU is to increase Gleevec dosage. I am not excited about this news because of the water retention and other side effects I have been experienced. We are waiting for my next visit in March 30th to check again my PCR and to monitor my progress. Good Luck to you and I hope you achieve  PCRU soon or may be we both will at same time.
