So far, I've remained undetectable-had on blip February 2015, but Dr. Druker assured me that happens about 4 months out and that the next month would show undetectable again. Been undetectable since just like he said😀 Had my last PCR test in June at his office. I live in Miami and will be getting another PCR test this month! Keeping fingers crossed!

I am your other hand tried going off last year and my counts started coming back up. So this year I switched to Sprycel, going to stay on the Sprycel for one year then try to discontinue use. The studies show that people are having more success staying in remission after being on Sprycel. But like I said before some people are having success after being treated with Gleevec also!

My Oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Center lowered my dosage to 200. After a year, I was still in remission.No Philadelphia Bug found in the last 15 yrs. Six months ago I was told I may be a candidate for a clinical trial for individuals like me. I had to go thru a list of questions and when I was done I was told the trial had closed. I decided to take my self of the Gleevec and spoke to my oncologist and he told me that he felt I may be CURED (Which I don't like that word) Well its been 3 months so far and no changes. Looking forward to the future. I was also told I would have to be off Gleevec for two years before they would be able to tell me the good news. Has anyone else tried to go off Gleevec???? -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
