I have not really looked into this much, but I was going to say I found it hard to believe a medication such as Gleevec would be out of your system in days. Thanks for the info,

Any medication that is taken for a period of time will be out of the
main blood system within days (what the pharmacist means), but can
persist in very small amounts in the soft tissues for considerably
longer, because it has become embedded in them over time. Since the
blood system carries off the residuals as they works their way out of
the soft tissues, tiny amounts would be detectable in the bloodstream
through sensitive measurements for weeks. The residual amounts would
be extremely small, and not enough to have any measurable impact on
leukemic cells, but it sounds like it may still affect the muscles in
some people, causing continued pain.
