My 19-year-old son James was dxed with CML on 7/4/05.  He is a
sophomore in college, living in the dorms, about thirty minutes away
from home.  Yesterday evening, he called to tell me that at about six
in the evening, he passed out.  He was in a counseling class or
appointment--I am not sure which--and first got dizzy, then very very
hot.  He left, and thankfully, a friend went with him.  Outside, his
knees buckled and he blacked out.  I am not sure for how long; he says
not more than a second or two.  Someone called an ambulance, and the
EMT's went over him, took his vitals, and asked questions.  He did
tell them about CML, and about being on 400 mg of Gleevec.  They
finally concluded he was dehydrated, and drove him back to his dorm,
telling him to drink more and get some rest. 

So, I am waitng to hear from the doctor's office.
Any thoughts?
Renee, trying not to be the typical over-worried mom
