turtle,tortoise,sloth?

i am definitely a tortoise/turtle/sloth even! after seeing my bcr/abl level drop from 6% down to 0.153% before xmas i now see some bouncing levels!

a bit frustrating and a little disappointing for the 'hare' in me but in spite of this my doctor is pleased, even though there is confusion over exactly what the last 4 results really mean..

see my diary for a likely/possible explanation.

however i continue to be pleased with the last result at 0.6%... as is my doctor. he is now sure that we have found the correct level of DLI for me to show a significant response.
we just have to wait until march for more pcr results.
it may be that i will turn out to be a spring 'hare' after all ;o)

love,
sandy C

Hi Sandy As my results show me to be a bottom bobbler 'par excellance' I can imagine your frustration at these bouncing levels.

I know you are in excellent hands with your treatment team, and hope that the results in march give a clear indication of the way to go.

Hi Sandy

I can understand your frustration and disappointment at not having lower or zero counts...having gone through the miniBMT you want zero. I'm sure it will come sooner rather than later and it sounds like Eduardo is being careful in getting you there without having any GvHD issues..which is a good thing really. Hope your next result is lower.

Hang on in there.
