Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Connie. I read that p53 deletion is "dreaded." So I'm sorry that you have it. Just speaking out of ignorance, none of your other numbers scream out 'treatment' to me. It will be interesting to see if your doctor suggests any remedy for your fatigue besides CLL treatment.

My treatment was Rituxan x 4 along with low dose 2mg Chlorambucil at 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for 4 months. This worked well. Last week it was time for a cbc and the results are quite diffrent than I have ever had. The wbc 64, alc 61.2, rbc 3.2 and platelets at 182. These figuers have doubled and some have doubled the last 3 cbc's The rbc have slowly been drooping along ith the platelets. My HGB running around 12.1 so that is good.One thing I am wandering about is I hear of those with much higher wbc and they say they feel fine. I have to say that in the last 3 weeks my energy is going, going and almost gone. I will see my doctor in a couple of days to also discuss the ct I just had done.I do have a p53 deleation so I'm hearing that can make my choices diffrent. Other that this, my life is good and no other health issues except the usual sinus and such.I would like to hear your thought on if you think I should be thinking of treatment soon. Dr. Furman any thought from you would be great also.Thanks ,Connie Sick sense of humor? Visit TV's Comedy with an Edge to see what's on, when.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Connie, I'd been doing R + low dose Chlorambucil with good success until it finally failed me. Had my last round of it in Sept/Oct last year and by Jan my nodes were growing larger than ever. The nodes didn't bother me half as much as losing nearly all my energy. If I did anything physical I'd have to rest for a day and a half, two days. Not much of a life. To me, especially because I live alone, QOL is an important criterion for deciding to start TX. I doubt we could loose so much energy if the disease were not taking over our bodies. I had to lobby hard to be prescribed TX because my counts weren't all that bad. So whether TX is needed is an individual decision for each of us. For me, sans energy I don't have much of a life. In truth I had no pain so others might look at the energy thing differently. I look forward to Dr Furman's response. I wish you the best; keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Connie, It is important to remember the classic criteria for needing treatment. With a normal hemoglobin and platelet count, treatment would be indicated if there was evidence of " B " symptoms, symptomatic lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly, or evidence of a transformation. A rapidly rising WBC might indicate that treat is in the near future, but it does not mean that it is absolutely required. An important question is the p53 status. How has it been determined? iFISH, immunohistochemistry? If iFISH, what percentage of cells is it in? These are all questions that would indicate whether it was there and still there in low numbers or if it is increasing.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 The short answer is " Yes " , all the time.... very normal for Gleevec. Actually, your counts look good... not to worry!
