Hi Skip, So far no water gain on Tasigna. I actually lost 15 pounds as I had not appetite at all, but I forced myself to eat because my hemg is low. Now, for a lady who has loved to eat everything in sight for years, this was a new experience for me. My mother always gave me comfort foods when I was growing up, and I still believe in them. Mine was hot chocolate yummy! She also believed in Castor Oil when you were sick; I tried not to be sick to often hehe. We didn't go to the Doctors back then, my mom was my doctor. The first doctor visit I had was when I was pregnant with my first child, and my mother wouldn't leave the room for the visit. Can you believe it??? Even after I was grown, I didn't go to the doctor unless it was a have to. Now, I go all the time; go figure. You are an inspiration to all of us; so keep on fighting.

Jeanie I am so glad the blas is gone, I felt if they lowered the dose after they tapped my lung I could have stayed on Tasigna (Dasatinib) accoring to the article in the CML Source. I guess my doc knows better. Oh well the ride is long and I am not too bad off, see many others on these groups that seem to be struggling. I know what to expect as I have had just about all the side effects these so called wonder drugs have. but those just getting started must be nearly out of their minds I feel so sorry for them. I am a lucky man I am still on the green side. be safe Jeanie Skip D **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.
