Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hey everyone! I'm home. I had my appointment with Dr. Kantarjian yesterday and my BMA. Not the best experience to date. Two dry bma draws, didn't start my visit off right. Third one worked, now w/o my shedding some tears <I just hate that> Saw Dr. K and he was concerned because my Basophils are now at 2% from 0, which he said 'COULD' mean my phillies are coming back or are up. I should have the BMA results in two weeks and we will decide at that time which course to take. He gave me a couple of options........1. We could raise my dose on Gleevec, as I only take 400mg, and have for the last two years. He is concerned about the increased side effects, since I have a difficult time now. 2. I could go on the Phase II trail of BMS 3. AMN107 Trial. Now with either of the last two options I have to be in Houston for a minimum of 1 month, and then be there once monthly there after. I can do that. Anyway thats my news and my choices. I don't know much about the AMN107, except that it is by Novartis. Anyone have more details? Thanks for listening! Amy B.
