I don't know if it is a myth or not, but I was told many years ago to make sure I had a breakfast heavy in PROTEIN before taking my Gleevec. It sure seems to work for me! I might feel sick after a breakfast of toast and jam, but never after eggs or grilled cheese or ham on toast. Also, eating some ice cold watermelon seems to help with nausea. I have been on 300 mg of Gleevec for 11 years. Good luck, and I hope you find something that works for you!

I know I can not eat soup and take the Gleevec as that will cause me to throw up for sure. But, if I eat some bread with it I'm okay. For a while I could not eat pizza at all as I was so nauseous that I could not stand it. So, I've given up pizza. And being from Chicago, that was hard. But, it comes and goes. I find that if I eat enough food I'm okay. Hope this helps. Good luck with t he doctor and keep us posted.

I try to take 600 mg with or following dinner. Had anxiety attacks when first diagnosed 3 years ago but they have been gone for awhile. Severe nausea will make anyone anxious. Good luck at the doctor and let us know how it turns out. By the way, my husband and I may be in Ft Myers in May. Will you still be there?

I've had this problem before back in 2006 when I was living in Springfield, MO. I was putting a deck on the back of our house and the heat was 98 deg. and heat index was 114. I ended up with a heat exhaustion. Then anxiety along with nausea. The nausea went on for over 2 years and I would complain to my Doctor in Chicago and they would say you have been on Gleevec for over 5 years theirs no way you can have problems with nausea now. Some members of our group sent me emails that the same thing happened to them. One day I woke up and the nausea just stopped and never came back, put I still have the anxiety problem to this day. Well the last few days it has hit me again for no reason. I have and appointment with and Oncologist the 20nd of this month. I think I'm going to take a two week vacation from Gleevec and see if things improve. If anyone else has had this problem before please let me know.
