I would ask for Sprycel as the next line of treatment also. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 8/16/2010 6:47:12 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I have never written to you but my son has CML and has had it for 7 years and he is doing fabulously. He was diagnosed shortly before starting medical school and he is now a Dr. and in his last year of his medical residency. He was started on gleevec when first diagnosed and did well on it but after 4 years it quite working for him. They switched him to Sprycel and he hasn't had any problems at all. He has less bone pain and you would never know he has ever been ill. It they want to change you off of Gleevec have you asked them about Sprycel? I have seen a great difference in my son and he has been on the Sprycel for 4 years now.
