Hey ,

Nice to hear from you. Sorry to read you are still having problems

with the DVT and clotting issues. It is quite amazing that in spite

of all this you still keep a busy routine going!. You are quite a

trouper!

Congratulations on the new addition to your family. It is always so

nice to hear that people rescued animals from shelters. My french

poodle, Napoleon Bonnaparte (well after all he is quite small and

dictatorial)was rescued from a horrible puppy mill just about nine

years ago. He means a great deal to me and has been a great source

of comfort on this CML journey. May you have many wonderful moments

with your new friend.

Sorry you're PCR is bouncing around a bit. Suzan McNamara had a bit

of a scare recently, but all additional tests including mutation

testing came back negative. As time goes by I hope we will find our

experience with PCR testing to be less frustrating. The problem is of

course that much like INR testing for the coumadin you are on, PCR

testing isn't standardized either. Additionally, I like to believe

that a majority of us are pushing the limites of detection with PCR.

I am looking forward to when the testing technology catches up to the

drugs!

Good luck with your studies.

Cheers and best wishes,

Cheryl-Anne
