I have been on Gleevec since Feb 2004 and most of the side effects are not bad. I have a lot of support from my family and I am a Christian and my faith gives me strength daily. I am 67 and a widow, never had any illness of any kind, never took any pills even the Dr always wanted me this or that, I always said no, I'll take care of it. Well, this CML is something I couldn't take care of, so I take my pills now and trust in God to see me through all things. Do you have the PCR test done regularly? For some reason my Dr doesn't seem to think they are important. He says it wouldn't change the way he treats me. However, I am going to have one next month. Thanks again, Jeanie<3   I take 3 pills each day, when I first started after about a month I received the red rash that everyone seems to get.  They didn't know what to think of it so they dropped my from 4 to 3 pills each day and took me off STI for a week.  I've been on 3 pills for over 5 years.  We moved to Springfield, MO. a few weeks ago, so now I have to find a lab to get my 6 week blood work.  I go to Chicago one time a year for my BMB, and see the doctor.  They send me my meds.    Before leaving Indiana I received a few e-mails from some other cml'ers that live in the Springfield area.  But I lost some of the files and have not been a to reply to them.   Take Care,   Dave Greenberg In joying the nice weather in Springfield New!
