Sorry, It is interferone treatments. My onc is concerned the other treatments will also cause fluid retention. He said the interferone treatment has caused CML to go into remission in some cases. I would rather try something with less side effects. I did not get along well with Gleevec and was on dasatinib (Sprycel) for 8 years until I had the heart and lung problem. It had very little side effects until recently.
