Thank you Allyson! I remember you writing me in the past stating you did well with 800mg. I am so happy for you! I, like you, tend to take my pill between late morning and lunch and then another at supper. I have 400mg tablets, so I take one in the 'morning' and one at 'night.' I feel much better than I did awhile ago...just thinking about this time last year makes me cringe (I was in a lot of pain, especially in my legs, and having trouble sleeping and eating). I've been feeling really good for about 6 months, and of course I'm hoping that means I am having a good response to Gleevec and that the disease is heading towards remission. I had an appointment in June and was told the molecular study that was done showed "excellent evolution" in regards to my cytogenetic response. Now I have an appointment coming up and I'm hoping that because I'm feeling good, I will be told I am doing good. I would definitely say I live a 'normal life' too, besides the occasional nausea from taking the pill. I should, however, start eating a better diet. Unlike the response some people have had of gaining weight, I lost a great deal of weight, and got into some bad eating habits trying to put weight back on. Now I am a good size for me, but not as focused as I was pre-CML on a really healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and veggies. I do try, but I don't like cooking much, either! Oh, well, anyhoo, that's about it for me...thank you so much for responding, I am glad to hear about your excellent response to Gleevec.
Best wishes to you!
