I'm a newbie to this group and to CML

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is and I learned about this group from Zavie. I was diagnosed

in February with CML. I am being treated with Gleevec but not having any luck

with it bringing my WBC down. My Dr increased my dosage from 400mg a day to

800mgs a day. I am not sure if it is helping yet or not. Since I am new to CML,

there are a lot of terms that I don't understand yet...like log reduction and

MMR and I think one was CHR. So if anyone would like to educate me on the terms

and what to look for, I would really appreciate it. Is it normal to have leg

cramps? I feel totally exhausted most of the time. I am looking forward to

hearing from some of y'all and learning more about this disease....
