Thinking of you Richard. Wishing you all good things. And it is GOOD news that you were able to be off for five years thus far. Take good care, Beth

I will complete my 5th year off Gleevec by being retested to be sure this test was correct. My ONC and I agree that is correct when we viewed the graph for the last 3 years. I will also have a BMB to see if any mutations have occurred. I feel better than I have for years, so it is hard believe that it is happening. The GOOD news is I was able to complete 5 years when most people pursing this path failed in less than two.
