CML and Pregnancy, all doing well

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone, just wanted to update you all. I'm doing great. I'm 8

weeks along today, only 32 more of them to go. WBC counts are holding

at 8 I'm 5 weeks off Gleevec. I have to admit I am a bit nervous about

not taking the meds, but I know it is for a good reason. MDACC will

not be doing any PCRs or BMA until after delivery, there reasoning is

that they won't treat it anyway. So I'll be monitoring my WBCs and

Platelets and that we will treat with Hydrea<sp> and whatever else they

say. (thought the Gleevec made you tired? Get pregnant, you'll beg to

be back on Gleevec, <smile>) I have had weekly ultrasounds and the baby

looks as good as it can right now. Keep us in your prayers and you are

all always in mine. Praying for a Thanksgiving baby! WOOHOO.

Love you all,

Amy B.
