If they are pushing toward a BMT you should qualify for the criteria of one of the 3 BMS trials. If you went to MDACC you could probably get into a trial now and transfer back to a closer location later when they are open.   Rob   ----- Original Message ----- From: pat reynolds To: cml@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2005 8:33 PM Subject: [CML] Pat's Update Greetings Everyone, I hope this email finds everyone doing ok. If everyone will remember from my last post, my oncologist was "supposedly" trying to get me in the BMS trial in Houston...well he had his nurse call me last week and said that I did not qualify for the trial. I am having much difficulty believing this because from what I read about it, I meet all criteria. The nurse asked me to call the doctor on Tuesday so we could discuss my "plan". I haven't called as this doctor is leaving this practice on Feb. 15th and I have an appointment with a different oncologist Feb. 26th. Whatever there is to discuss, I will discuss with him on that day. I am so disappointed to be told I didn't qualify so I am going to try to pursue it on mine own...what choice do I have here? I'm also looking forward to seeing this new doctor, hoping he will shed some light on my situation as I certainly didn't get any from the previous doctor. The trial is coming to my area, supposedly, not written in stone I was told but it could be months and the way my doctor talked I didn't have time to wait for it to get here. Anyway, I am finally tolerating the 800mg some better and I feel some better. I hope it shows it on my next blood work, PCR tests, in the mean time, I just continue to be frantic with worry. I will post again when I have something to post....in the mean time I am keeping up with everyone else's progress daily and praying for us all. Love, Peace & Hope, Pat             New!
