Anjana,
Thank you for your reply and the information. I am afraid. Plain and simply afraid. I am confused by what my doctor is doing and unsure of why. I have slowly been slipping into a kind of depression over the last few days. I feel like when I first found out that I had CML to begin with which is kinda strange cause I didnt feel this bad when I found out a year ago that I had relapsed. Maybe it is because it is not sunny and warm and I am one of those people with seasonal depression. Anyway, thank you for the information and hope you all have a good day.
Hugs,
Katy
