Sorry it's been a while since my last post.  I figured i would fill 
everybody in.  I went to see a specialist today for the first time, 
his name is Dr. David Hurd w/ Wake Forest Baptist Medical center in 
Winston-Salem N.C.  I learned a lot today, but most importanatly i 
guess is the fact that he wants me to proceed with the BMT.  Reasons 
being that my last fish test revealled that i still had 4% philly's, 
and after being on gleevec for over a year he wasnt comfortble  with 
that result.  He said ultimately it was my decision ofcourse, which 
i a m ok with.  Strangely enough i am not scared at all...should i 
be?  Dr Hurd says that the cards are in my favor..im 26, healthy and 
have a great attitude torwards this.  I dont know what to do though, 
he mentioned "super gleevec", but i dont want to put much faith in 
something else that is not a confired cure.  I guess inadvertantly i 
have already made up my mind to go through with it, but i also have 
to consider my wife and my 3 month old. So with that i dunno im at a 
turning point fo sure and i welcome any stories on BMT's that you 
have to offer, i know that it is a feirce procedure and not always a 
happy eneding, but i have to beleive it will be for me.  Give me 
guidance please.


thank you 

roger
