Hi :  I just re-read my message, and it sounded like I still see a doctor

for testing in

NY.  I finished my clinical trial when Gleevec was approved in May of 2000, and

then went back to my original Oncologist in New Jersey.

     When I was in Clinical Trial, I saw Dr. Silver.  He had to be in

his late 80's.

He retired as soon as my trial was over, and just went to Presbyterian Hospital

to do consults. I never had to go back to NY, but my doctor had to send updates

into them for records until I went into remission in July of 2001.

Hi, Sue. Thank you so much for your kind words. Who do you see at Presbyterian?

I see Dr. Schuster and he was one of the doctors that spearheaded the Gleevec

clinical trials there. He is an amazing doctor.

tend to worry because of our CML. I did my Clinical Trial at NY Presbyterian

Hospital in 2000 for Gleevec. I was in remission in 2001, and to this day I

still get nervous when I have to get my 6 month PCR.
