hey Jeannie -- I have also been on Gleevec ca four and a half years and I have had about four eye bleeds. One of them very recently and it was the worst. Even had pain with it, but the eye doctor at mayo said that it's nothing to worry about. Rubbing your eye may or may not have caused it. I get them from nothing at all. Just thought I'd re affirm what you've heard. chris in minn ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2008 7:55 AM Subject: [CMLHope] eye bleed
Hi all, Well, after being on Gleevec for about 41/2 years, I had my first eye bleed. I think I caused it as my eyes have been itching due to pollen, and I rubbed my eye. I know better, but when I looked in the mirror later, there it was, a big red eye! It would have really scared me, but thanks to this list, a few years ago, there was a discussion on eye bleeds. It is not painful and will clear up on it's on ,but it looks scary. I have been taking a higher dose of Gleevec due to high platelets. Thanks a lot for all the input.
