Hi Jeanie, I went into some of my files going back to 1997 and my creatinine levels were 1.2 to 1.4. Could be just part of how my body works. Like I've said before if it's not broken don't try to fix it. Thanks for your reply. Greenie In a message dated 11/30/2013 5:21:22 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Right Greenie, I think my levels were high at one time. My cat scan showed small lesions on both my kidneys. I wonder if this is due to the meds? Doctor didn't seem to worried about it. Thanks for the update. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/30/2013 11:23:38 A.M.

I'm drinking more water and cranberry juice. Didn't come down a lot but it's better then going up higher. Take care, greenie In a message dated 11/15/2013 5:52:28 P.M.

In one gallon of water squeeze the juice one 4 lemons. Add 1 cup of all natural cranberry juice, mix well and drink all day. Get the cranberry juice that comes in a bottle with nothing added and use fresh lemons. Also you can make fresh cucumber juice. In a gallon of water add 1 chopped cucumber and 1 juiced cucumber. Zip all day. You are just like me; I don't drink my water like I should. I drink coffee in the morning and tea for lunch and try to have my water in the evening. My Cat Scan showed small lesions on both kidneys but the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. These meds have to be washed out, so if we skimp on water, our kidneys will get clogged. How did you eye surgery go? I miss that post. Good luck and get to drinking. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/9/2013 8:14:13 A.M.

Back in 1997 I found some of my blood work and the results were 1.3. Over the years and being on Gleevec for over 13 years my levels range between 1.2 to 1.4 all the time. The last 6 months in May it went up to 1.5. and last Wed. it went up to 1.6. My Internist wants be to get blood work in 2 weeks and depending on the results then he wants me to get and us renal sonogram to see what's going on. I'm not one for drinking a lot of fluids, in the morning I have two cups of coffee, at lunch I have a can of coke, at dinner I have another can of coke then before bed time when I take my blood pressure pill I will drink some water. I know that I should be drinking more fluids put I don't like water. So my wife went out and purchased a case of water with favor in it. I will drink a beer maybe 3 to 4 times a month with dinner but no hard stuff. I don't smoke gave that up many years ago. If anyone have some input as to what I can do to lower my counts. I only have to get blood work every 6 months, if fact my Doctor in Chicago told me in May when I went to see her she said that I only have to get my blood work when I come to see her. I asked her if it would be O. K. if I did it once a year down here in Florida that way I know what's going on every 6 months. Let's face it we all worry some what about what's going on in how bodies. That would make me feel better cause I'm worried. Take care, greenie In a message dated 11/9/2013 7:55:16 A.M.

What does MR4.5 mean in plain English? I am guessing that it means a 4.5 log reduction, but I am not sure. The other thing is, what happens if after 2 years you lose MMR? Do they still give you free Tasigna for another 3 years or do they say "We've got our answer, you're out of here" ? Just thinking out loud..........
