Hi Hoosha, Here's what Dr Druker said about my accelerated phase. You need a mutation analysis and a change as soon as possible to dasatinib or nilotinib. Would also see if your appointment at Moffitt can be moved up. Does anyone know if Medicare pays for the mutation test? Thanks, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 9/17/2008 1:13:21 P.M.

Hi to all: Hope all going well around everybody.. After 4 years of PCRU, I am positive for around 8 month. I am going to do Mutation analysis but my onc believe that it's not so important. I am in 800 mg and he said to me that after 3 month I should do another QPCR and if it¢s still rising I should switch to Sprycel. He believes, in spite of BCR ABL Mutation Analysis result, sometimes Sprycel work for T315I or the other Mutations. And it¢s better that in every status, I try Sprycel. But I want to know more about the importance of this test. God Bless Everybody Being Happy Hoosha **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
