Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi everyone, Well after being dx in July last year and commencing Glivec at the end of September with a few short breaks in between due to side effects, I got the result of my first Q- PCR. 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...
