thank you lynne, I am sorry to hear that you are having aside effects. I did too for a while. Depending on the side effects . It may not be an issue. I had really bad skin rash and difficulty with breathing. I was taken off of it for a week and given Predinsone. It worked. After a week I was back on it again. Until I relapsed that is. Good luck.
I was admitted on the 19th and I started chemo. I've always followed the journals of other CMLers and it seem helpful to watch others go through the process. I am keeping on mainly for family but now since every patients is in their rooms most of the time, ot's really quite and boring. I took the time to build this web site about my journey. Check it out. There is information about all cml trial drugs. www.ourfight.homestead.com I wish you the best in securing a match Tiger --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Welcome to the group Tiger.
