Hello Amy, My husband who has had CML for five years now also goes to see Dr. Paquette. Although we live in Nevada, we travel to LA (used to be every 3 months), now it is every 6 months to go to a Cancer Center and a doctor that knows the ins and outs of CML. You absolutely can't fail with Dr.Paquette. He has been with my husband through all sorts of side effects with Gleevec and then put him on Sprycel which has been much better than Gleevec for him. Good luck
