Re: [CML] Gleevec break - again

[Tanya Metaksa]

Have a great time in Belize and relax.  There are many more options
now for you and I am sure you will be in good hands at Dana
Farber.

I shall endeavor to have a positive attitude throughout all of this, but
I do worry that as time goes on, Gleevec is going to be phased out of my
treatment.  It has proven effective thus far, but not effective
enough to put me into molecular remission. I have great hope that the BMS
drug will be an option for me and for those of us who find Gleevec
intolerable over long term. I so wish that I could tolerate the side
effects more gracefully but that has not been an option for me
lately.  It gave me a great sense of peace over these past four
years to know that it was working, and now that is coming to an end.
I will report to the group any information I can glean from Dana Farber
for those of us living in New England and interested in making the
conversion.  It would be a welcome change to have a drug that has
less side effects and works more efficiently. - Lynne A.
