Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just returned from receiving the results of my blood test. While the CML leukemia still present and active the counts are only increasing at a very slow rate. The Dr. agrees that if I would go back on the drugs they would be harder on me than living without them. The Dr. thinks that it is possible that the Gleevec probably eliminated the fast growing cells and only the slow growing ones are left, based on a two year review of three sections of my blood tests.
