Webcast Transcript
VIRGINIA GARNER: I go for about three months on the dosage of Gleevec and then my platelets are low enough that I need to go off. I stay off for about two weeks and my platelets come back and I go back on the drug.
Interruptions in medical therapy can sometimes decrease the effectiveness of a drug. But Virginia's response to Gleevec remains strong.
NEIL SHAH, MD: Clearly in her case she's been on the drug now nearly five years and is doing remarkably well.
VIRGINIA GARNER: I'm very happy that my experience with Gleevec is working out, even though I do have to take a rest from it occasionally.
