I am sorry to hear your news. I understand your fears. But I would talk to the specialists who research the meds and see what their take is. Dr. Druker, who as you probably know, is the discoverer- creator of Gleevec is very knowledgeable about drug resistance, the new drugs that are out there that address the clones etc...He is accessible. His info: Brian J Druker MD. Knight Cancer Institute. Oregon Health and Science University. ph. 503-494-5596. In this situation you can try and make an appointment with him if you are willing to fly... your doctor can to try and consult with him. [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) . Another person on line here has spoken highly of Dr. Tolpaz at the Unversity of Michigan. He sees patients and does research and has great knowledge about sprycel, and the other meds available, tasigna..posatinib (sp?) I believe tyhis one was created in part in response to people who become resistant........just because you become resistant to one drug..does not mean you cannot benefit from the other drugs as you have from Gleevec. I know there are others who have done just that and are doing well. I hope this will happen for you as well. I would encourage you to get as much information as possible so you can make an educated decision. Good luck and I will keep you in my thoughts. Beth
