Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 You want to know what a nice guy he is? He told folks at the last ASH conference they should feel free to contact him with any questions, whether they were his patients or not. So I did. I had never seen or met him before, but I emailed him with questions about my troubling reactions to Gleevec. He sent me back -- immediately! -- a long, thoughtful several-paragraph letter about Gleevec, alternative meds, symptoms, side effects, options, the whole business. I was absolutely knocked out that a person of his standing would take that kind of time to help a total stranger. I was impressed and deeply touched, to say the least. in San Francisco From: lotajam@...

I have heard such good things about Dr. Shah, and this cinches the deal that he is a great doctor who really cares about his patients. What little knowledge Stanford has that they don't know California is a major player in CML trials. With your attitude, there is no doubt in my mind that you will kick leukie to the curb.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Lottie, Thank you for your kind words. I can't wait to kick some leukemia butt! (Even if I need some cosmetic surgery to remove the horns that might sprout from the new medicine--tee hee, couldn't help myself)..
