That's really interesting, Lynne. Thank you for mentioning it.

Were you one of many being tested? I'd really be interested in what

the study found. Warm regards.

Dear , I am unaware of the number of patients tested in that particular

trial. I do believe the researcher's last name was Dr. Chang, a

female. (but don't hold me to that) The information would have been in the

archives

of the old CML support group listed by Rob O'Neill and I don't know if

anyone on this group has access to those files. As I said, you might contact

Harvard Med School in Boston and inquire about the trial, which I believe is

still

ongoing. I opted out of it because it was too much for me at the time

medically. I think it was called CML and Memory Loss/Retention Trial. See the

results clearly for yourself, I cannot even remember the specifics, haha!!!

And I am wondering if JAMA would have any info on it, in old issues. Perhaps

you could Google it? I hope you get the information you seek. As I said,

when some of us started Interferon and Ara-C, we definitely complained of having

" chemo brain. "

I remember questioning the researcher at our session about Gleevec. She

said the trial was based on CML only, and I wondered about the results because

some patients were treated with Gleevec, some with IFN and other drugs. Good

Luck, Lynne A.
