Dear Sandy, You are quite right about the high RDW. If Randy is responding well to Gleevec, the RDW should go down. There is a study done relating RDW to Gleevec therapy, I may have posted to you before and it may be in the archives.
Sandy, it is very positive that Randy is responding to the 600mg dose so it may be worthwhile discussing with the doctor keeping him at this dose with a white cell booster like Neupogen to raise the ANC if it goes down. That way, he can remain on this Gleevec dose and go to CCR. Talk to the doctor and see. I think the RDW study on Gleevec therapy is in the archives. Good you remembered it.
