[CML] Hello from Dane

[Dane]

Hello all...have not posted much, as I don't have much news, but have been lurking a little.   I am around 130 days post transplant now and feeling great.    The marrow and blood samples I gave on the 18th were retested and still came up inconclusive as to my donor cell percentage.  My BCR/ABL has tumbled down to 0.08 however, which is very promising.   I have been weaning off the Prograff....now down to .5 milligrams every other day.  As of this writing no outward signs of GVHD.   Still taking 600mgs of Gleevec per day,  so it is not certain if it is the Gleevec, GVL, or both that is reducing the BCR/ABL.....either way I'm happy about it.   Blood counts have been all normal,  my trough prograff level had reached the targeted 2.0 before this latest dose reduction.  Seeing as I am cutting the prograff does in half,  I imagine I will reach a trough level of 1.0 for the next step of the weaning process.   Really been enjoying being back at home!  Have felt good enough to take the RV out a couple of times since I've been back.    Not sure what's in store for me ahead as they reduce the prograff,  but I am enjoying life as best I can, day by day.   Regards and Prayers   Dane Tessler New!
