Hi Susie Q, Interesting we go by the same here...:) :)
Yes to the eye bleeds.....had it happen twice in the same eye with a matter of three weeks. The second time was horrible and went to the eye doctor but he said it was nothing serious and would clear up on it's own. I happen to see the oncologist/hematologist at the same time and she told me that if it happend again that soon, to call and they would set me up with one of their ophthalmologist that a blood vessel might need to be cartorized. (not sure about the spelling). But I've had no more problems like that in the five & half years I've been on Gleevec, but it is a side effect according to the paperwork from Novartis. My eye doctor put it in my file....:) My eye doctor says normally people have eye bleeds because of stress, heavy lifting, or high blood pressure........of which none of those pertained to me at that time, so I showed him the list of side effects and he included them in my records. Keep looking up, Suzieq --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
