It's been awhile since I last posted but received news from my doctor a few days ago. Not good news but not bad news. I've been on Sprycel for not quite three years. I've always hoped that one of these appointments he would say that my BCR-ABL would be all zeroes and that one day I would be able to go off medication. While my numbers stay low he said they fluctuate enough that more than likely I would be on medication for the rest of my life. Taking the Sprycel has not been horrible by any means compared to going through intravenous chemotherapy or radiation like my sister did with breast cancer but being able to say I'm in remission would have been wonderful. I can't complain because I'm here seeing my grandkids grow up and she never got to meet her last grandson. Thank you to this group for sharing and listening.
