I was on gleevec and had numerous eye bleeds until I actually did have a brain bleed. This is nothing to sneeze at. I was then removed from gleevec and have been off it for 4 years. One year ago I had another stroke much worse, and am thankful to be here. Going against doc's orders to try sprycel until I am out of cellular remission. I pray that never happens. Thankful for every day. Take these eye bleeds seriously! Discuss these two posts regarding brain bleeds with your doctors. Blessings, Susan

I was immediately removed from the Gleevac. If Gleevac can make your eyes bleed it's potentially possible for it to make your brain bleeed - and to cause a stroke. I've not been on any medication for CML for over 1.5 years now. This week I may be restarted on a lower dose of Gleevac per my hematologist. We will see.

But tonight I got an eye bleed. Doesn't hurt but looks awful. Anyone have any info on what to expect? Thanks, dear friends. Even my wonderful doctor says every now and then "go check with your group".
