Re: [CML] A few questions from a new member

Others can probably suggest what things they eat that work well with Gleevec. A list of some things not to take such as Grapefruit is at http://www.drugs.com/cons/Gleevec.html   In many patients the side effects such as fatigue can get much better after you have been on Gleevec for a period of time.      Rob   ----- Original Message ----- From: JEFF VICKI SCARBORO To: CML@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 10:00 AM Subject: [CML] A few questions from a new member Hi folks,   I was diagnosed with CML 3 weeks ago. My journey began with a routine eye exam which showed "roth spots." One of the five causes of roth spots was leukemia. I am curious as to how some of you were diagnosed.   Also, since I'm new to the game, I'd like to know if anyone can suggest any dietary changes that might aid the Gleevec. So far, I'm really tired and bruise very easily. Is the fatigue going to be a part of my world or has anyone found ways to help curve it?   Thanks for any information you can provide.   Vicki New!
