Molecular Remission on Sprycel

[Guest guest]

Dear Group:

& nbsp;

After three months on Sprycel I have reached molecular remission, PCR Zero, and

FISH Zero.

& nbsp;

I had to switch from Gleevec due to acquiring the G250E mutation.

& nbsp;

So far no really serious side effects. Some side effects I do have include

fatigue and inability to concentrate to a certain extent.

& nbsp;

These are commonly reported side effects of Gleevec as well.

& nbsp;

I turn 61 next month, so maybe it's not totally fair to blame the meds for

everything.

& nbsp;

How is everyone else on Sprycel doing?

& nbsp;

Best Regards,

Carl

Great news. We all all very happy for you. I have some side effects from

Gleevec but I have been in Molecular Remission for 1 yr and 1/2 since I was

dx'd

in June 06. However we get there, as long as we get there. That is the

bottom line. With all the research and trials one day CML will a thing of the

past.

Hi Carl

It is good to hear things are going better. You deserve a break and

it appears by your numbers that is what is happening.

Go ahead and blame the meds for your side effects. You are to young

to blame nature, so use the drugs as long as you can.

Take care,
