Hello Lori, nice to hear back. My Dad is symptomatically ok, mouth sores have reduced though not completely gone. Have been talking about mild pain in abdomen due to spleen enlargement. Had to give him 2 shots of grapheel this week to boost his wbc counts, which now came back to normal range, though his hamoglobin has dropped to 7.1 and platelets at 140, so doctor suggested not to reinitiate imatinib and keep it on hold till coming Tuesday and get the blood work done again to see improvements. The doctor is suggesting all these are because of those high dose of hydroxyurea, which should settle down. So playing the waiting game and hoping for improvements 🙏🤞

Hi @riteshkundu! How’s your father this week? Did his recent lab work show more improvements with his blood numbers?
