If he did not have a lot of side effects at 400 it should not be much worse at 600. Most have the worst side effects in the initial months and they normally lessen with time.

Hello everyone,Randy(husband)went for his fish test results today.When he was dx in August of 05 his cancer cells were 97% positive.Now they are 50% positive.I thought that sounded good for only being on gleevec for 4 months.Well the onc  was not that happy with the results.He thought it should be more around 20% by now.He said he would leave him on the 400mg  of gleevec for two more months.If it isn't down to 20% than he wants to increase gleevec to 600mg.I said I hated to see him increase the gleevec because of all the side effects.He told us that sense Randy had no side effects with 400mg that he should do as well on 600mg.So doe's all of this sound right to all of you?Thanks for any response.Have a great New Years everyone.Sandy
