Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Dear Margot, What a wonderful post for all of us to read and ponder and especially the newbies. I'm so happy to hear your results. The newbies should also take note that you were patient and did not send your labs to Texas during the holidays. It's such a pain to have to go through labs twice -- not the least of which is the worry until you figure out that the labs were compromised. Happy New Year! Now we're in the Age of Sprycel, too! Best regards, L [ ] My Latest Test Just thought I'd let you all know that my latest tests came out totally negative again, the ABL-BCR test as well as the PCR (100,000 cells) test. I had the blood tests taken just before Christmas and did not ask for them to be sent to MDACC because of the holidays. I was sure they'd be all messed up by sending them away over that time period. By the time March 23 comes around I will have had CML for nine years and have been PCRU since January 2002. Something for the newbies to think about For those who have been diagnosed in the Gleevec age, it wouldn't have taken four years to become PCRU, but that was the " olden " days when the diagnosis still gave you an outlook of 3 to 5 years as your future life span on Interferon. And I might add for the benefit of those who were more recently diagnosed, that I have few side effects and they happen only occasionally, so that I tend to mostly ignore them.
