Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just want to say thanks for the warm welcome here...I have today seen my Onc. and just wanted to post an update since you have all been so kind... First off with the good news...I had a .94 Log reduction in just 4 weeks on the Gleevec... I spoke to her about being sent to a specialist and she is referring me to Dr. Lipton in Toronto...she said I should be there with a month or so until then just to keep going that way we've been going...once a week bloodwork... there had been some questions here as to why I was on 800 mg of Gleevec if only in accelerated stage so I asked that question too...this is the answer I got - " your case is not presenting normally - in your original cbc your wbc was 39 and your blasts were 1% - when the BMB was done the peripheral blood presented in accelerated at 14% however the marrow presented in blast crisis... " she was very encouraged with my results so far and that was good to hear - however - I'm a little disenheartened to hear the words blast crisis...
