Hi Elizabeth
Thanks for joining our Glivec discussion group. I do remember you
from the European CML website @
http://www.newcmldrug.com/uksupportgroup/
and I've noticed your record at the Public Patient Records Section @
http://www.newcmldrug.com/uksupportgroup/log/patients.asp
Like you, I also wish more people would use the Public Patient
Records Section web site, it is a valuable reference for CML
information.
I am sorry to hear that you've possibly experienced somewhat serious
side effects from Glivec. If it does turn out that Glivec had a part
in causing your symptoms, or was the cause, please do let this group
know, OK?
I saw something about you in the BB News Online, Monday, 15 January,
2001 issue I believe? Something about a new drug trial at
Hammersmith Hospital and Imperial College School of Medicine in
London, the "WT-1 vaccine"? Will you be taking part in that study?
I can envision a combination of a WT-1 vaccine and Glivec treatment
for CML, but I have no idea if that is even being considered.
Again, welcome to the Glivec Discussion Group! Your input is much
appreciated by all of us here in this group.
