Ensuring that no one has to face GIST alone. Learn More
Today I am thankful for Novartis' miracle drug Gleevec. My brother's GIST tumor has shrunk from 13 centimeters to 4.5 centimeters in two month. He is thriving and glowing and back to work, even. Five years ago would have meant surgery, and chemo and perhaps worse. His oncologist was giddy at his checkup showing him the CATscan. Amazing. ♥
