Well Anjana and Cheryl-Anne-

I heard from MDA, I am staying on the .43 of Peg IFN each week.  A positive out of all this is I am now aware of which side effects go with which drug.  I was off the IFN for a week and my diarrhea went away, my "fog memory" began to clear up....however, all the swelling from the Gleevec was returning!  I guess for me, they (the drugs) balance each other out- IFN helps me lose the weight Gleevec puts on....

I am staying on 800mg of Gleevec and .43 of Peg IFN for now.
