Tracey,
thank you very much for your information. Are you in the medical field?
As far as the phases go, I always believed that without treatment a patient
would go from chronic to accelerated to blast phase, and blast phase was
terminal. I did not think that in such accelerated phase Gleevec would still be
successful and one could switch back to chronic.What worries me most now is
that you wrote we would not stay in the same phase even with treatment
afterall. That is very disturbing news for me.
