Hey Marcie, Glad to know that someone else has to change there sheets too! I woke up the other night and my pillowcase was just soaking wet with sweat. There I was at 3:00 a.m. waking my husband so I could change the sheets. How nice of me. :) I am going to talk to my onc when I see him at my next appt and let him that I am having this issue as I did not have it when I saw him last. And, my blood work has been okay. So glad to know that it is not the menopause as that gets the blame for everything.
Hang in there and keep in touch. Sherri Illinois On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 1:18 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I was dx in March '09, started 400 mg Gleevec, bumped up to 600 mg in > spring of '10.
