Gosh my Birthday is in May as well the 30th..Happy
B'day to us May babies
now that I have a note going Zavie suggested I tell
you all what is going on with me... As of today I
started Dasatinib.. at 100mg a day. My doctor said
(holding his Hand at approx the 6ft level) when I
first met you your cml was at this level, now after
Gleevec and nilotinib your at this level (holding his
hand approx 18 inches from the floor. But he said I
cannot increase your dose of Nilotinib as it attacks
your pancreas, so I am switching you to Dasatinib. If
this does not work, I can always switch you back to
nilotinib at 400mg a day. My doctor want to see if
he can get my leukemia down lower. I had a BMA & B
done last week heart monitor etc.. I will need
blood samples with all kinds of different blood
samples for at least 6 weeks. My Doctor's hope is
that I could reduce the amout of Platelet and Hgb that
I receive every week. So anyone that is now on either
Gleevec, or Nilotinib take heart Dasatinib is
or could be the winner if not well always can go back
when it is approved in Canada, now if my doctor could
have increased the dose to 600mg a day he may have
stayed with nilotinib but the company have strict
rules governing their drugs on trial. So for now I am
as of today on Dasatinib at 100 mg a day (expensive
little bugger too, thank God for my insurance) One of
my Doctors said they were using me as a test case for
people who have survived long time CML (not sure how
many years he means as long term survivor LOL) Be safe
all and be kind to each other.
