Please be aware of the Sprycel/Pulmonary Hypertension risk. Unfortunately, I am living testament to acquiring such a horrible disease as a result of Sprycel 70 mg p.o. q.d. As a result, I will never advocate Sprycel and I live in constant fear. Working on this :) Four days after I saw Dr. Jorge Cortes at MDAnderson Cancer Center, the USFDA issued a warning on the above-mentioned risk...Canada issued the warning 3 months earlier and is currently testing all Sprycel patients for PAH (I have not heard whether or not the US is instigating such studies - probably not). Needless to say, I am still bitter over this whole situation. So, my only option at this point is Tasigna....still waiting to hear from my new onc @ CCF for an appointment.
