Having been in remission for 12 yr. now, I see my oncologist only twice a year. When I saw him Thursday I brought up the topic of a break from Gleevec. He did not encourage it in the least, and he gave several reasons why he thought it was not a good idea. I was a little disappointed, but...hey! I am doing great, so why meddle? I have taken 300mg of Gleevec daily for at least 8 years now. My side effects are minimal... I am grateful to feel so well and to live the life I choose. I will ask the dr. again in 6 months and see if he has changed his mind yet. Angie~in~Canada
