I agree with you, it seems like people are jumping right to the newer drugs...not giving the Gleevec time. I've been on it since being diagnosed Jan. of '04. I've been PCRU only two times, but out of the five different doctors I've had, not one has ever suggested doing anything different and I've often wondered about trying something different, but like you "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" The Gleevec is holding the CML at 0.001%, so, I figure that's good enough for me and I can live with that. I manage the side effects & go on. They've not been debilitating for me as some have had problems with. And, I figure as long as my insurance will pay for it, I'll stay with it.
Thanks for bringing up this point......
