New drugs

[Guest guest]

Dear Bobby,

This is what is good about the age we live in. I think you said you had

315, but not the T315i, is that correct? Wonder what the difference is. If you

want to contact Araid, I can give you the information and they might be able to

tell you when they will have it at UM, or ask Talpaz. One thing I like about

Talpaz is he is so easy to talk to.

\ I like the idea of going on Tasigna myself, even if I have to pay for it.

After the first prescription, we will have reached Catastrophic with Plan D and

it will only cost 5% until the end of the year. I don't want to start at 800

either, on anything. I think they want to zap the Phillies, that is why they

give the max doses. I hope you get good results from the FISH. So many people

are opting to stay on Gleevec and Sprycel, they are having a hard time finding

people who want to leave and go into another trial. With us, it doesn't matter

because we haven't made much progress on anything. We have to ask for what we

want, Bobby and if you are not happy with the trial, you certainly should be

able to ask for something else. Good luck.

Lottie,

Am I understanding you correctly?Treatment with Gleevec and

sprycel have been unsuccessful and you have entered into trial to try

different treatments? I'm sorry I can't remember how long since Dx?

How are you copeing?I sure hope you are doing well and thanks so much

for all your help and advice thus far.
