Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Greetings from PA. I am 52 yo and was diagnosed with CML in 1985.(yes, 1985) I had a BMT in '86, relapsed and had another one shortly afterward. That remission lasted 10 years. In 1996, I relapsed and was given DLI with my donor's white cells. (older brother) After suffering severe GVHD I achieved remission. Recently my illness has recurred in chronic phase. My doc is checking into Gleevec with the professionals in Balt. After 20 years of battling this curse I am very calm about this new revelation. I don't think another DLI or transplant is an option. I'm waiting to hear from the doc to find out the next move. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar story to share. Thanks, Nance.
