Hydrea is an older treatment method that is sometimes used to get counts
stable. He will probably be put on Gleevec shortly.

Subject: [CML] New to this group, have
questions.
Hi Everyone-
My dad was recently diagnosed with CML
about 2 weeks ago (he's 69). I
have some basic knowledge about CML
(and and finding more as days go
on). While in the hospital, the
doctor started him on Hydrea, which
he took for about a week. At his
followup visit after the week, the
doctor said his blood count was back to
normal, and took him off the
hydrea (until his next visit, about a week
from now). Is it possible
that the Hydrea worked that quickly
? Is it normal for the treatment
to be so short ? I am totally
confused now. I'm getting
the "reports" through my mom, who,
unfortunately, doesn't always
understand what's going on. Any help you can
provide would be greatly
appreciated !
