I stay home where it's safe and watch T. V. I'm not into crowds anymore either. greenie In a message dated 5/26/2014 5:48:01 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I was on it for years, and even a double dose of it towards the end before going on Tasigna. You would think that it is important enough to let patients know, and perhaps it's because the doctors haven't read it : > (.....I think that everyone on it should know. I wonder about the Tasigna and some of the other drugs that we're taking. If you find out anything I'd appreciate your telling us. I'm not worried about me...At 75, I don't run to fast (I'm in a wheel chair), and at 85 my husband has probably forgotten what it is. (joke), but either way I'd be interested in knowing. Hope that your memorial day has been a good one. Ours is a quiet one today, but then that's okay with me as I couldn't handle a crowd like I use to.

I was checking out Gleevec one drug interaction and at the bottom of the page I noticed something that I had not seen before. It said, Imatinib can pass into body fluids (including urine, feces, vomit, semen, vaginal fluid). For at least 48 hours after you receive a dose, avoid allowing your body fluids to come into with your hands or other surfaces. Patients and caregivers should wear rubber gloves while cleaning up body fluids, handing contaminated trash or laundry or changing diapers. Wash hands before and after removing gloves. Wash soiled clothing and linens separately from other laundry. Body fluids should not be handled by a woman who is pregnant or who may become pregnant. Use condoms during sexual acclivity to avoid exposure to body fluids. Grace and I have been married for over 15 years and of course we have had sex together. All these years NOT ONE Doctor told us any of this information. What we could do or not do. Now Grace is worried about this information and so am I. Has anyone been told or heard of this. I will be making a call to my Doctor tomorrow morning for sure. If you have any information on this please email me. Thanks,, greenie In a message dated 5/22/2014 6:30:05 P.M.

When you finish it, you should get it published so others can learn from what you went through. It's a great story and you tell it with such a passion. I feel what I went through with my CML journey doesn't compare with the pain you have endured. You are truly a faithful warrior, and you lift all of us up as we hear your updates and advice. Happy Birthday to your and your wife. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 5/21/2014 10:01:05 P.M.
