Hi Karen and thanks.
I get my blood checked in May so I will let you know what happens.
I have only taken the 400 mgs of Gleevec.
I remember when my platelets were high before the onc put me in the hospital and did apherisis; when I got out of the hospital they went right back up; he put me on aspirin, agrylyn and I believe Hydrea; Then the counts dropped so low he took me off everthing.
My WBC stay at about 7.
Thanks again.

Hi Jeannie. I was on gleevec for almost 2 years when my platlets started going up. About 4-6 months before they started going up, my fish tests started coming back pos. Low at first and then quite high. I initially started at 600mg gleevec and as soon as my fish started showing a small pos, I increased to 800. I would really try and get a BMB done asap to see what's going on with the marrow. Also, my dr advised me to take an aspirin every day while my platlets were high as there is a high risk of blood clotting and stroke associated with high platlets. Hope this helps...and I really hope its just a "fluck".../karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
