Hello Group.. on research, I hope that all who are now on the newer drugs, that they hold for a lifetime. the unfortunate part of this is, I attend the hospital twice week, and see more and more of CML (aml) in younger and younger people. When I first was dx with my Leukemia It was not even called CML and is was very very rare. It was later that I started to note that there were more and more people over the age of 40. Now it seems that young people in their 20 and 30's have it. I have even heard of younger people than that.
So my prayer is that this group and other groups do not let up on the search for a cure.. I have failed Imatinib, Dasatinib and Nilotnib . I wonder if the drugs they now have will last for a long long time.
