Dear Listmembers:
Thank you for your kind thoughts regarding my recent heart attack.
After 17 days, I am feeling much better and getting around.
For those of you with heart problems or high cholesterol, I did learn that certain drugs such as Lipitor cannot be taken with Gleevec. My onc at MSKCC and cardiologist consulted and agreed on an anti-cholesterol drug that would be compatible with Gleevec.
Incidentally, I reported that after reaching molecular remission last August, I lost cytogenetic remission in November.
It was only after my onc increased my Gleevec dosage from 400 mg. to 600 mg. that I regained cytogenetic remission this past February with zero on CT and FISH. I remained at zero after my May BMA and RT-PCR had dropped to .00015%. Does anyone think that 600 mg. should be the optimum dose?
Any comments on all this?
My best to all,
Carl
