When I started, I had profuse night sweats and serious abdominal cramps for 2 or 3 nights. The next time I went to my oncologist, he told me I was anemic and he was considering putting me on Procrit. He waited a couple of weeks and my RBC count started to rise, so I never got on Procrit. It could be the same for you if you just started up on Gleevec. The night sweating and cramps are your leukemic cells dieing. It's a good thing. As for Procrit itself, ask the Doc but I believe it's supposed to be very efficatious. I'm telling you this because if you just started, your RBC's may start increasing in number (rather quickly- ie. 2-3 weeks). Hope this helps. Good luck! Kevin
