On diagnosis: 6,000% and after 3 months of Glivec is now down to 13.01% which is just over a 2 log reduction, needless to say my haem/t and I are both very happy. All my blood work is perfect...his words " good enough to get into NASA " LOL! In Australia for some reason the specialists tend to be more aggressive and want their pts on 600mg + and he is keen for me to go to this level next.....I'll wait and see as I am still getting migraines roughly once a month, which we feel may be hormone linked as I used to get these when I was a teenager and Glivec as we know certainly seems to upset us ladies! Hip hip horray I have had a hysterectomy. Regards, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
