Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Dear , I was not aware of the name of the drug when I responded to your post. This drug has been around for a while, and called homoherringtonine at the time (HHT). I was on it in 2000, along with Inteferon. I know there are several people in this group who were also on it. I think if anyone is going to " shelve " it, they should as least talk to the patients who benefited from it. I hope your source was in error and that they are going to continue to manufacture this drug. These mutations prevent patients from receiving any type of recovery with CML, so I am wondering why they would target these people who would not have access to this drug, unless the drug company agreed to release it on a basis of need. Hands & hearts, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
