Doc let me know that nothing showed up abnormally with the spleen that would be causing me the pain in the left side that I've been complaining of these past six years after being dx'ed. They wanted to discuss amongst themselves as to where to go next......which, I am certain will most likely be the Colonoscopy. I am also getting more and more certain that it will come down to the Diversticulitis or something on that order to do with what I eat. I've been paying close attention to my diet and how certain things make me feel. And, since my husband & I started back on the "lo-carb" diet at the beginning of the year, I notice that I don't have the pain so much as when eating regular. I remembered noticing this before when we did the Atkin's diet. But, I just kept on blaming it on "spleen pain", LOL! I decided that I will go ahead and go through the testing just to know 100% sure where the pain is coming from and do whatever it takes to stop it. Even if it means not eating some of those "favorite" things like tomatoes. :(
Still waiting for the genetics test which she said was in the mail, but she did say they were "good". Whoo-hoo!! Will share once they arrive. Pat, I am so sorry that you've struggled so with the Gleevec. I do believe if I were you, I would go ahead and be changing to something else and see if those nasty side effects got under control. Mine are not so severe....I was up in the night last night taking something for the bone pain in the lower legs, but I am having more "good" days than "bad" lately. So, for that I am very Thankful. You hang in there, & talk with the doctors more about trying something else.
