I think you are making the best decision and I hope it goes well. The only thing with me changing to Sprycel is I have went from one extreme to the next...horrific diarrhea to now occasionally constipation which is easier to manage than the other. I'm praying your life will be better on the Sprycel...it changed mine. Love,peace,hope & prayers,pat
