Guest guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi Glad to hear that ie is in the chronic phase, really hope that the glivec goes very well for him. I was slightly surprised to see that you said your next appt. was Sept 24th, ( did I read that correctly as I am british?). He really should have blood tests weekly until the doctors are satisfied that the WBC is coming down and that the liver function tests are satisfactory.
