Hi all and glad to have everyone's input on this PE. I told my onc a few months back that I was afraid of PE but he said that was the last thing I needed to worry about. Can't figure him out. I am on 100 mgs daily Sprycel. Seem to be doing good except I have developed painful jaw and right side of face. This could be another side effect of Sprycel. Hang in everyone; and get better.

Hi Jeff, I read with interest that you had to go off bosulif for a short time. What were your side effects? What dosage were you on? Very interested as I am also on it. Best wishes for your return to it this weekend! I am on 100 mg and having no real problems. At first my liver enzymes shot up, but they have returned to almost normal now.

But my numbers continued to be good 3.6 -3.9 log reduction. Sadly I'm off sprycel for good due to continued problems with PE. Was put on Bosulif for short time but off temporarily due to side effects. Hope to go back on the weekend after seeing doctor Friday. Best of luck to your husband. Your doctor is very highly respected. Have a great day.

Jut wanted to weigh in with my husband's latest experiences. He was short-winded and family doc ordered a chest X-ray which revealed some effusion. We reported this to Dr Talpaz (his CML specialist) and Dr T wanted him to have an echogram which we were able to do locally with his regular cardiologist. Dr T said to quit taking Sprycel immediately and not to continue until he and the cardio conferred. As of now, he will have another echo in a week to see if there is any change one way or the other. He has an appointment with Dr Talpaz in Michigan the middle of October and it sounds like they are going to have him stay off Sprycel until at least then. It's kind of scary being off the medication that you know is saving your life. But Dr T is not concerned. Don't know where this is going next. All part of the journey. Continue to pray for all the warriors out there. > Thank you for your input. > Joyce in IL > > -- > -- > [CMLHope] > A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) > ------------------------------------------------- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/CMLHope > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
