Hi, The chances of a relapse are not big, but it is possible. Blood testing on a regular basis is important as well as having a bone marrow biopsy every six months or so. This is really the only way to tell how you are progressing. I hope that your doctor is following you closely! If you do show signs of relapse there are things that the doctors can try and there are some clinical trials for people who do not respond to IM (Imatinib Mesylate).
Your English is much better than any of my non-English languages. I read and speak some German and some French, but not very well. Have you tried Google.com? They offer translation services for most web pages and email (I think). There is also babelfish.com to help you with any troublesome words or phrases! You are in a good group, these people care, I am glad to see you speaking up and asking questions.

Is it something what only blood test can show? Also I read that some people relapsed to the blast stage. So is it possible that if I was dx in a chronic stage that I can relapse to a blast stage? Will I know about it? If yes, how? > Thank you, Livia > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam? Yahoo!
