Hi Shannon, I started Gleevec on Jan. 10th 2000. I've been on it all these years also but I haven't heard anything about Novartis stopping the drug. They are making way to much money selling it. I wouldn't worry about it. I also have some short coming on the drug but I can handle the side effects. Hope all is well with you, Greenie Fort Myers, Fl.

Hi All My name is Shannon I live in Sydney Australia Its been awhile since I have posted. I was diagnosed 1998 and after a few years went onto sti571 (glivec) and achieved remission within 2 months and I have been it ever since about 14 yrs. They are inviting participants (in Australia) to take a survey of stopping glivec I image they will do a study of stopping the drug. My question is does everyone know of the study done in USA of the stats of stopping they have indicated in this survey info that the percentage of success is 30-40% to me that SEEMS LOW what do you think. I do have some problems but I am stable on glivec. I hope this emil finds everyone well Shannon -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
