Hello!

My name is and I was diagnosed on May 2, 2005. I am currently

on 300 mg of Gleevec, hoping to get to 400 mg. I have not had a BMB

yet, and will have another FISH in early Nov. I have chatted with a

few of you from the group already....thanks for all of your input so

far. I am still learning all of the lingo and what everything means.

Just when I think I get it figured out, I learn something new.

Question though? Does anyone know any good dr.'s in the st. louis

area. This is where I live close to and am needing to find a new dr.

I don't know if my current dr. is up on all the current research and

have been doubting a little of what he is doing. Also, does anyone

know much about myelosupression? Supposedly, I have that. Anyway,

just wanted to introduce myself. Hope to get to know everyone better.
