Hi, CML diagnosed Sept. 1998, tried "all" avenues with no success, gained over thirty plus pounds. Started with Gleevec trials in 2000. As soon as stabilized, I started on South Beach Diet until could lose the extra thirty plus pounds. I take Gleevec after supper meal, and careful not to use any other drugs or supplements that would cause conflict with Gleevec. Exercise daily and try to maintain a good diet. I have gained back five pounds over the total period, but am satisfied with current weight, I have been in the zero club for many years. Suggest you take the Gleevec when your body will best accept it, and only you can determine what works best for you. Even if you do not need the South Beach diet, the book is work the expenditure as it helps you to review what is considered "good" food. You will probably be surprised to learn that some food that you considered to be OK is not acceptable as the process used in preserving the food may affect you in a negative manner. Good luck on your journey. Ken
