I agree with Zavie and Vivi, I can't think of a CML expert who would consider this an approriate course of action. I understand that general Oncologists have quite alot to stay updated on and that is fine for CML when the disease is responding well to treatment but this case is no longer routine.
Where do you live? Perhaps someone can offer a suggestion for a CML specialist. If you wish to stay with this ONC, ask for "EVIDENCE" that supports this course of action. If you need a study reference, I can send you one from the last Hematology meeting that supports taking action (increasing dose of Gleevec or switching to one of the newer drugs (Sprycel or Tasigna)) when the CML is at its lowest point. Waiting for the CML to increase in amount such it shows up in the blood is far harder to return to normal than if action was taken earlier. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
