Bailie,

I know that interesting is not always the word that we want to apply to our situation, but from what I have read about CML and Philadelphia positive blood cancers, there are two drugs that have been very good at treating them - Gleevec is the front line drug, and there is a second one that is on the verge of replacing it, though I don't remember the name at this time. I think that this may be a diagnosis with quite a bit of hope behind it.

Wishing you the very best health every day.
Dan
