Quick Life and Leukemia Update!
Since returning home from Europe in October, life has been a whirlwind. I was ok’d to drop my dose of Bosulif from 300 mg per day to 200 mg per day to make my European trip more manageable and enjoyable. This meant 100 mg with my first and last meal.

I was praying that I would hold on to my previous “double zero” numbers so I could continue to stay on this 200 mg per day regimen. Much to my delight, my test result came back as .0079%.
