Hi Greenie, No I don't know of anyone who has taken a break, but I do know that is recommended for certain types of side-effects. One that I know of is your ANC going to low. There are others. Google side-effects of Gleevec and see what comes up. Good luck and blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 8/6/2008 10:18:12 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Jeanie, Do you know of anyone in our group that has taking a 10 to 14 day vacation from Gleevec and did anything happen? Maybe if I take a break from it for a few weeks that will tell me for sure if that's the problem. Chicago and told me in the pass don't do it. Easy for them to say. I think that this has to be my problem. For crying out load 6 1/2 years and no side effects then I get my self over heated and BANG all these problems. As the day goes by late afternoon I start feeling better, by bed time I'm O. K.. Sleep good all night then wake up and in 10 min. I feel like you know what. I'm trying to see the cancer Doctor here in Springfield, he's an O. K. guy. But he's all booked up. The nurse is going to try to get me in. I say the hell with the antidepressants give me enough Xanax to take 2 times a day and a good nausea pill to get me to the afternoon. I hope he can give me some good information. I take my Gleevec at dinner time, I use to take it in the morning, I've tried lunch, nothing works. Some how during the night when I'm asleep something goes a muck, I get between 7 and 8 hours sleep. Maybe I need to get up in the middle of the night, stay up for a few hours then go back to bed, hell I don't know. And I though Interferon was bad. I tried pot a couple times back in the 70's I didn't like it but they should make it legal for us folks that have this kind of problem. I read that it work good for people with cancer. Thanks to everyone for their help with the side effects that I'm having and your input. Greenie **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.
