Karen, Thanks for sharing and glad to hear your moving in the right direction. Geez, 15 pills a day, I only take 3 pills a day and I can barely keep up with that. Your bill box must be HUGE. Brenda

WBC is down another 2K to 11.8 (from 20.1 when I started the trial). I was a little discouraged that the wbc went down between 6 and 7K the first week and only 2K the second, but the dr says as long as its trending down, its a good thing! Platlets FINALLY started creeping down. After hovering around 1.5 million, they are now down to 970K. The dr seems pleased with the way my counts are coming down... This was the 1st time in 2 months that I didn't have a single HH (citically high) count! The only side effects I have had are the same as the early gleevec side effects (edema and bone pain). I also started getting some mouth sores a couple days ago. Not sure if its related or not, but he did prescribe lidocane to numb them enough so that I can eat! He also noticed low potassium (probably from the lasix) and low magnesium, so I am also taking! > potassium pills and magnesium pills. Puts me at 15 pills a day!!! I now don't have to go back for 2 more weeks... > -karen ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Help save the life of a child.
