Zavie I read your post

I agree with you

" My life has been much richer because of CML. I have met some extraordinary

people because of CML and CML has given me the opportunity to help many

patients.

There is nothing more rewarding than knowing that you have saved a life. "

There is also the quote:

If you cannot save 100 people then save just 1

Hi Zavie,

I agree with Matt 100%. This is totally unnecessary and I don't believe that any

of the cml specialists would have you doing bmbs.....or annually at most! I

think Dr. Druker might be doing them every 2-3 years when someone is stable with

a good response.

And this is an invasive procedure....and there are risks with it (infection,

nerve irritation or damage, etc). I think maybe you have become addicted, not to

the procedure, but getting the good report back???? I am really surprised that

your oncologist has been going along with the every 3 months. You could also

think of this as a waste of medical resources (someone pays for it).

Give your poor pelvis a break.
