Hello, my name is Richard and I've been on Gleevec since 2003. I am a 61 year old man. Last September the doctors reported that they could no longer find any CML in my bone marrow. I am not a doctor but I have never heard of anyone receiving both chemotherapy and Gleevec. Gleevec is now the main therapy for CML. Unless your father has some other type of cancer I do not understand why he would also be getting chemo? Gleevec is not for just prolonging the disease! No one knows if it will produce a cure in the long term. It may well prove that most people can stay on Gleevec indefinately or until something better comes along. I do not know what your access to medical care is, if you can you should get your father to a CML specialist! Only a specialist will have access to the latest information about this disease and the best treatments! Much new information has been learned in the two years your father has had this disease, his doctor needs to be informed about all of this. Richard Troxel New!
