Starting Gleevec
Hi - I am now going to start Gleevec after Vidaza treatment did not work. If anyone has been on it or has info on it - I'd really appreciate it. One of the results on the biopsy showed CD-117 positive. Gleevec is chosen because it is suppose to work specifically well if this is positive. Any info will help. Thank you all.
