Pcr Hi Greenie Doctors at Moffitt don't do BMA. They do PCR blood test. My doctor Dr Baldicci, Is my doctor and head of the senior oncology center of Moffitt and they are't doing BMA So instead of drawing 2 vials blood they draw three. Dr Balducci is retiring the first of the year but there are many specialist there. Good luck My Motto: Faith and Pills With Love 🐠18's Dx 1/2004 CML Leukemia Started Gleevec 2/2004 Started Tasigna 9/2009 Started Sprycel 11/2009 Started Ponatinib 1/2015 Doctor Balducci Moffitt Cancer Center On Dec 22, 2017, at 3:47 PM, Marty Gartenberg <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Ana, It's not so much the question of changing one of her TKI's, from Bosutinib to Bosutinib after being on Gleevec for fourteen years. Since there a lot of things that you and your mother need to consider like her age, her general health like the low Hemoglobin and Red Cell Blood counts which you didn't include in your email, and one important thing how are her kidneys? What her Creatinine level are right now? And has she had a CBC (Complete Blood Count lately? Also if she did what were the results? You already know but what were they actually? Can you specify what these counts were or are?? One other thing, is his or her doctor, i assume that he or she is a qualified Oncologist? And are any of their specialties for-instance is CML? Also how many mg of Gleevec is she taking and for how long? I know that you mentioned that it was for the past 14 years, but has she ever taken a "vacation" from it, and if so did she have any effects of it reappearing ? Has she been tested for ABL/PCR lately and what were her results? Finally, has your mother seen a Nephroloigst lately? All of these questions are very important and before any doctor/s makes any decisions about changing any of her TKI's you have to know exactly what these answers are before anyone can give you any advise. I will leave you with this advice: Please don't let any of this intimidate you or your mother because you have the right to ask questions and those that you have requested them from have the oblation to answer them. If you get the chance would you kindly let me know about my answers from me to you. I don't recall if i ever have spoken to you before. So just so you know i always end any of my posts with 18's which means LIFE. 18's, Marty On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 3:34 PM, Marty Gartenberg <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Ana, It's not so much the question of changing one of her TKI's, from Bosutinib to Bosutinib after being on Gleevec for fourteen years.
