HI Jeannie and all, ...I am due for BCR abl testing so should get it in the next two weeks, results two weeks later...so I will update when I know more...Had a consult today at the Block Center here in Illinois.People tend to love him or hate him... I really like him. He thinks all my issues are sprycel related. Thinks I should go off everything and have drug holiday to give my autoimmune system a rest....steroids briefly to try and lower cpk so I can move better without such a severe boomerang effect. Back issues are no worse. That's good news from my end....since there have been several of my fellow warriors here who have lost there remissions spontaneously after years of successful treatment with their TKI's. I am scared to go off, unless I have to ...ie. like I did for past surgeries....however, I am thinking about it...perhaps I am just too toxic, and time off would help me to rebuild and repair, and tolerate better the TKI"s when I re-uptake in the future......so I am sitting with this decision..Not sure what I am going to do...except pray, and listen to other's words of wisdom....I know if I ask Dr. Druker, he would be fine with my taking a drug holiday..but I emailed anyway......thoughts from my friends here????

Saw Kidney Dr. and my tests have improved the last 3 times. Took my CBC and I am keeping my Hem. is holding at 10. I hope it stays there until the end of Nov. when I visit my ONC. My wife is improving, and will see the Dr. Oct. 21st to see if she can start putting weight on the right side. Shoulder seems to be healing nicely. She has the healing knot on the shoulder and is feeding herself with her right hand and is raising the upper arm to almost shoulder height without pain. We are hoping she can come home in Nov. when she can get out of the wheel chair and up and down without help. Due to heart surgery and a pacemaker all I can due is call for help if she has a problem. 18's Richard H. -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
