I wonder what drug is doing best on the spirit2 trial. I was chosen for Inatinib. I started my treatment in October 2010,

I had lots of side effects for about two months but they are minermal now.

we dont seem to get any feed back on which drug is doing the best in treating the CML

    Hi Andy,

    Which ever drug trial you are on it seems to be working. Once they know for sure they will teel you.

    All the best and good luck.

    Take care and be safe Sarsfield.

    Just an update

    After being on the spirit2 trial on Inatinib for 9mths the drug is not working.

    I have been taken off the inatinib and after a week I started Dasatinib 5 weeks on this drug my platelets have droped below 45 so I have to stop the treatment, having blood test every 3 days to see when my levels recover. What happens then I dont know

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
