Hello All:
I get the digest version so keeping up that way. Someone posted that Tasigna is
now the 1st line treatment for CML...is that true? I have been on Gleevec 400mg
since Oct 03 with the usual side effects; bone pain, body aches, cold
sensitivity, fatigue and weight gain(the latter combined-not that I was ever
skinny!). My Dana Farber onc Dr. Soiffer had me go up to 600mg for a short
while. That was NASTY...double plus side effects with nausea. My CML counts
trend from 'undetectable' to trace, back and forth. So Dr. Soiffer is pleased
with my current treatment as am I. I'm on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
mind set, but pleased that there are options for "what ifs".
As for taking my Gleevec-I take it just before bed with my Protonix, forgot
about the acid reflux the Gleevec caused, with no problems. Stomach is fine...I
forget that I even had problems.
Happy trails everyone...I'm off to keep living!

Happiness is not what happens to you, but how you choose to respond to what
happens. That's why its called happiness not happeness.
