Hi Anjana and thanks so much once again. Mine are under 1000 so I will call my onc Mon and see what he wants to do. What did you think of the high basophils; the were 351; could this be cause by the high dose? blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/29/2008 8:25:37 A.M.

higher Gleevec dose can decrease blood counts like the neutrophils. Most doctors stop Gleevec if the Absolute Neutrophils are below 1000. And then restart once the neutrophils are up. Neutrophil cells are white cells which fight infection and if you do not have too many of them, then infections cannot be fought. So, below 1000, most docs stop Gleevec.
