Re: next treatment decision

[Guest guest]

I am most recently 150K absolute and with a 53 deletion. I am rising on

a regular basis in the lymphs, but I have no symptoms and no reason to

treat but it is coming. I had RF 3 and 1/2 years ago. If I understand

everything correctly, campath would be my best choice.

Anyone else in the same boat that would like to share their experiences

would be appreciated.

Thanks all. And Happy New Year.

Dave,

There are several possible treatment options. The one best for you

will depend upon your symptoms, anemia, thrombocytopenia, LAD, etc.

Given the p53 deletion, campath is a good choice, but there are other

drugs as well worth considering. Many clinical trials are also

available.
