Hi Jeanie. sorry your having a spot of trouble, well I hope this cheers you up just a wee bit. My ANC was down below 300 and they did not stop Nilotinib, my platelet count has been down to zero keep on trucking with Nilotinib, my Hgb has been down to 6500 and just keep putting in the 400mg a day. My ANC came up all by itself until Thursday it was 1300. My doctor right or wrong feels I have no choice and so does Norvitis. But I feel ok no major problems. When I first go into med day for infusions my blood pressure is about 145-150 but if I sit a few mins it will go back down to 115 or so..even 130. I suppose a lot of Docs would disagree with my doc, but I have survived over 32 years and maybe longer, that is being investigated now. I had to do a complete life's history and week by week history of the last 2.5 years or eversince I went on hydrea and then Gleevec and when all the infusions started. Guess they feel I have nothing to loose..LOL so keep the good fight, you have alway be very kind to me and I do keep all in my thoughts and prayers every night.. and as the fox says to the little Prince "it is only with the heart one see rightly, What is essential is invisible to the eye.."
