Hello, At the beginning I would like to introduce myself, my name is Ahmed, I live in Saudi Arabia, a new warrior in the world of chronic myeloid leukemia, where I have been diagnosed for the first time in the 01/01/2009, I started on Imatinib after 11 days, and the dose is 400 mg, one tablet per day. I have suffered from daily of pain in the joints and bones, with feeling unwell and the desire to vomit, especially because I toke the Indian version of Gleevec, and after taking the Swiss edition of the treatment the symptoms disappeared after 3 days gradually. Thank God, the insurance company is covering my situation, Gleevec 400Mg x 30 tablets monthly costs here in Saudi Arabia only U.S. $ 3352.00. Until now I'm still on Gleevec at the same dose as instructed by the doctor, who advised me no to stop taking it because that there is no medical information indicates the way to stop taking Gleevec. Generally I ask God that we can soon eradicate all types of cancers, and end the suffering of everyone, and thank you all for giving me the opportunity to participate with you in this wonderful group. With my sincere wishes to all, Ahmed -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
