My oncologist recently suggested increasing my dosage of Gleevec to 800 mg a day as a way of making my complete cytogenetic remission more durable. What do you think?
We do not yet know whether higher doses can bring about deeper or more durable remission in someone who is already in a good remission Gleevec is a well-tolerated drug, but it is a powerful one. I would advise you to make decisions with your doctor based on characteristics specific to your own CML.
