Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and even though you all seem wonderful i wish i wasn't a part of it. My husband was diagnosed with cml March'04 when he began to have pains in his left side. Misdiagnosed with kidney stones for 2 wks. till a cat scan revealed a hugh spleen .Wbc was 150k and peaked at 250k before it began to subside. He started on Hydrea and Gleevec(400mg)immediately. He achieved remission in about 6 months. We have been to Vanderbilt several times and talked to Dr. Jagasia. He was very helpful in explaining things to us. My husbands siblings are not a match for a transplant but they are searching the registry. We are not sure if this is what we want to do but it is nice to know your options. Karl is in cytogenic remission per last bone marrow aspiration and is not doing too awful bad with side effects. Dr. Jagasia has mentioned an autologenous transplant. Do any of you know or have experience of this ? God Bless, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
