I was dx in March '09, started 400 mg Gleevec, bumped up to 600 mg in spring of '10. I started with horrible night sweats in the last two months and I am well past menopause, age 59. I also get terrible chills. My hem/onc says it is a side effect that other patients have complained about and there doesn't seem to be much that can be done to alleviate the problem. I have the sweats so bad that my sheets are often soaked. Hang in there, Sherri, I'm right there with you!

I was dx with CML in 2003 and am on 600 mg Gleevec once a day. I have ad all of the ugly side effects from bone pain to rash. But I have tuck it out. Now I am going through night sweats. At first I thought t was menopause, but I'm not having any hot flashes and when the weats come, I'm so cold. Has anyone else had this problem? This is a ew side effect for me and I'm hoping that someone else has had it.
