Hey there Jeanie! It has been a while since I have talked to you. We've been a part of this group for a very long time, haven't we? :)...
I have been taking Gleevec now for 12 years this past February. Started out on 400mgs. and am now down to just taking a 100mg. tablet a day. So much better, (smile). I never had a rash of any kind while on Gleevec. Would just have an itchy spot here or there on my skin. I first noticed it on upper front chest....nothing showing, just itchy skin. Then, it stopped there and was down right around the waist band of panties. My husband brought home a plastic can of Monkey Powder and that really did great. Also, Gold Bond for Itchy Skin works, too. I don't seem to be bothered so much any more with it. It was really weird that nothing showed on the skin, it just lightly itched. Since reducing the dosage of Gleevec, the side effects don't seem to be so bad.....other than the joint and bone pain. Don't think I will ever get rid of that, though, at my age. :) It's good to see people like you still here, God bless you, Suzieq > > > -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
