Hi everyone
Not posted for a long time but do regularly check site to see whats happening. Am treated at Hillingdon Hospital and on 14th June came off Spirit Trial 800mg as my five years were up (consultant reduced to normal dose of 400mg) and when I saw him yesterday he was quite keen to refer me to Hammersmith and Prof Apperley to hopefully be involved in the new vaccine they are developing. My latest PCR result is 0.055 BCR-ABL and he feels that hopefully the vaccine would help to fully eradicate the remaining leukaemic cells that seem to be hanging around - in Dec 2008 the PCR result was 0.00 and undetectable but has been creeping up again to the present reading.
Was keen to hear if anyone else has been referred or going through this vaccine treatment at the moment. Also any info on the subject would be gratefully appreciated. Karen
