Dr doesn't believe it is the Gleevec. I think my most distressing problem is my short term memory loss. I am on the inventory team at work and you wouldn't believe how many times I have to start over! Making it worse I am on a schedule. I have to get my work done within a timeline. It is no party at home either... I have little yellow stickys everywhere. I can't seem to get anything finished I start a chore and switch to another and so on...getting very little done. 6 years on Gleevec Penny On Apr 21, 9:23 am, rokama <[email protected]> wrote: > I was diagnosed Oct 2006, have been on Gleevec 600mg since.
