Subject: [CMLHope] Re: No immune compromise if PCRU
Dear Chris and Mike,
There are 2-3 articles from the doctors that show Gleevec can
compromise the immune system. Yuo are very right, Christine.
Roy, though, has not had many coughs and colds after Gleevec compared
to before. Before CML, he would always go through colds like 2-3 times
a year but after CML and Gleevec, maybe once in two years. Touch wood.
Christine, there are also 1-2 articles saying that Gleevec does not
compromise the immune system so the question remains open. Our doctor
told Roy to take all the flu shots every year, etc. He is not PCRU but
has been in stable CCR for over 4 years now.
Best Wishes,
Anjana
caregiver to Roy
