Hi Nick and Elizabeth, yes that is neat! I went through this when I was on Gleevec and my hair did grow back. I take one day at a time and happy each day I am given. The ponatinib is a tiny little pill that you wouldn't think was big enough to heal anything but my blood that was way off is almost back to normal in 5 months. Maybe this is the pill that will be my healing. Hope you two are good.
