PCR and BMB results 6 months in

Hi Everyone,

I was dx'd back in July 2010 with 55% PCR and I'm being treated with 400mg/day Glivec on SPIRIT2 trial. All cells tested from the bone marrow biopsy had the philadelphia chromosone on dx, with fibrosis also in the bone marrow a marker for the CML being in the accelerated phase.

3 months in my PCR had fallen to 14%.

My 6 monthly Bone marrow biopsy results I recieved today had 0/20 ph+ cells (CCR) with no trace of fibrosis and my PCR has fallen to 0.07%.

The good news is gradually sinking in!!

Zavie, do I get a zero club number?

Great website and I wish you all the best and a happy, healthy new year

David, I wouldn't presume to pre-empt Zavie normally but this is really really great, and I am entirely confident of an imminent Yahoo Yippee message.
Very best wishes - cause for a celebration I'd say.

Hi David,

Well done. Could you send me your email address  zmiller@sympatico.ca

This is just the beginning. There is plenty of time to get to PCRU. Just look at my signature. I've been on Gleevec for almost 10 years. Once I reached MMR I knew that I had it made.
