Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi everyone, My platelets have finally come up, 80,000 last Friday, so I restarted Saturday morning at 15mg. As of yet, no side effects like with the 30 mg. Let's pray it continues. I had labs done today and platelets were 91,000. Wonderful!! I will try to post more often and keep you up to date. I hope Bobby, Len, and Beth are doing ok. God's Blessings, Jackie S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeahh Jackie! If I remember correctly, Bobby had virtually no side effects at the 15mg dose, so hopefully the same will be true for you...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi Jackie, wonderful news! I thought they would put me on 30, but Dr. Talpaz said as long as I am doing well on 15, I can stay there. A friend of mine , however,, is going on 30 as of yesterday. I had a bma/bmb yesterday, am very anxious to see if the pcr has dropped from .12 to lower. I am happy right where it's at, but I know the goal is for a lower number. With 15 mg, I have no side effects at all.If I didn't set my phone alarm to go off I would forget to take the pills, that's how good I feel, like I don't have cml or anything for that matter. I do love this drug, and hope it works for everyone. I had a new gal doing the procedure yesterday and was very nervous about it. But even though it hurt a bit, she was able to get a great amount of fluid, so it was well worth it. I think the numbing procedure is the most important, and not being in a hurry. She got the draw, then used more lydocaine and got the piece for the biopsy, did a good job on both, but " ouch " . continued good luck with those platelets, love, Bobby a (Bobby) Doyle Brecksville, Ohio, USA DX 05/1995 02/2000 - Gleevec Trial/OHSU 06/2002 - Gleevec/Trisenox Trial/OHSU 06/2003 - Gleevec/Zarnestra Trial/OHSU 04/2004 - Sprycel Trial/MDACC, CCR in 10 months #840 - Zavie's Zero Club 09/2006 - out of CCR 04/29/08 - XL228 Trial/ U.of Michigan 06/02/08 - CCR ( in 4 weeks) 02/13/09 - XL trial ended due to side effects 04/13/09 - New Trial, Ariad / U. of Mich./ Dr. Talpaz From: jackie schneider <jschneider008@...> Subject: [ ] Back on Ariad drug Date: Monday, August 31, 2009, 10:21 PM Hi everyone, My platelets have finally come up, 80,000 last Friday, so I restarted Saturday morning at 15mg.
