Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi everyone. I have been reading this board since diagnosis but have only posted a few times. Heres a little background about myself. I am a 34 yr old female married with 3 children ages 4 and 2 year old twins. I was dx in July of 2006. In August I started in a trial the 800mg vs 400mg trial. I started on 800mg but because of neutropenia I went down to 600mg, to 400mg, and now currently on 300mg. My ANC is still below 1000 so I am currently taking a break from gleevec. If my counts do not recover in two weeks I will be taken off the trial. My oncologist said that he believes that I will do just fine on 200mg a day. I have reached a 3 log reduction to this point. I am just curious if any of you are on less than 400mg a day? Do you think that this is safe or should I consider sprycel? I don't believe that a have failed Gleevec, or have I? Also my oncologist seems to mention BMT every time I am in his office. I absolutely do not want this. Especially because of all the new drugs that are being developed. Any input would be great, I respect all of your opionions. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
