Hello everyone: I'm new to this group and am grateful for all the information I'm learning. I have been on 400mg. of Gleevec since February 2004. It's done it's job and continues to keep me in remission. Am scheduled for next bmb in July. I am interested in more information about taking calcium or drinking a glass of milk while on Gleevec as I just began taking a supplement twice a day after going off Hormone Replacement Therapy two weeks ago. I split my Gleevec to 200mg. twice daily, so I need to know for sure about taking the calcium supplements in between. I certainly do not want rock the boat now since my blood counts are beginning to look really good except for a slight case of anemia.
Also, for those of you who are experiencing the bone pain & joint pain as a side affect of the Gleevec, I was put on 500mg of Glucosomene/Condroitin 3x a day about ten weeks ago and it has kicked in and the bone/joint pain is virtually gone! I get the Spring Valley Double Strength at Wal-mart (large bottle of 120 @ $29). It takes about 7 to 9 weeks to actually start taking affect, so be patient. Now if someone can just tell me how to help the chronic fatigue, that would be most helpful! :<) Thank you very much, Suzieq dx CML 1/2004 Started Gleevec 400mg. 2/2004 Total Remission 4/2004 _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search.
