Re: [Gleevec] Chronic to Accelerated phase

I hope I am right, but according to my onc, one does not switch phases once it
is determined what kind of leukemia one has. If she has been on Gleevec for so
long, and it is working, she must be in remission. Is there more detail to this
story?

Hi Silvia, I'm not sure what you're talking about. I don't recall saying that we couldn't stay in one phase with treatment. The goal is exactly that, to halt...
