Dx on June 14, 2018 with 12.66% bcr-abl. Started treatment on July 5, 2018 f 400 mg Imatinib daily. Last blood draw was June 3rd. Here is report from my hematologist, Winship Cancer Institute's CML specialist:
"I am writing to let you know about your recent test result for your CML. The quantitative BCR-ABL (a marker of your CML) was 0.0097%. Our goal is for this to be under 0.1% which we call a major molecular remission. This is outstanding. If this level is maintained for 2-3 years, you would be a potential candidate to stop treatment. I recommend that you continue your current CML medication as previously prescribed. I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns."
I would LOVE to get off of the Imatinib and get part of my life back.
Would appreciate hearing from those of you trying TFR or contemplating it.
