Re: [CML] Re: Getting resistant and relapse

thanks Richard,
i found the yahoo group very important for my life over here. i'm glad to hear that my english is good, at least getting better. this is also a way how to improve it. my primary oncologist is not a cml specialist, but somehow God sent me one doctor who is a cml specialist and he wants to see me once in a while : ) his wife's family is from slovakia. i was asking him to give me som consultations if he can. he is so busy, but he never said no and so far it works with my insurance company.
back to my relapse question, there is no way i can check on myself that there is something wrong with me, so maybe i am getting resistatnt? it seems very pesimistic, but i am just trying to be careful and find out if there is some warning signal telling me to be "careful".
have a good day.

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.

Many times I have a problem to understand whole context and most of
the time I am lazy to use a dictionary : )

Gleevec? 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?
