Hi Fran,
When we talk about belonging to the zero club, what we mean is that
there are zero 'undetectable' bad cells. Even when someone shows no
detectable bad cells, there are probably a few bad ones lurking
around that our tests (with margins of error) are not finding.
So, your doctor is technically correct about the 'big zero'. There
are still some undetectable cells, which is why Gleevec is
a 'maintenance' drug & we have to keep taking it daily.
But, it wouldn't sound as good if our club were named:
'Almost Zero' or 'Just about Zero', ey?
Children are so resilient - blessings to your son.
Regards,
Gale Bacon
dx'd 3/00 hydrea and interferon for 14 LONG months
Gleevec 400mg daily since it became generally available
Molecular remission (no detectable PH+ AND NO BCR-ABL t(9,22)
translocation anymore!)
