Yes, I do take the shot. I was taking a shot every week but now since having decreased Gleevecto 200mg per week just went from taking a shot from 5/23 to 9/5/17. I do get a CBC every two weeks and wait for the results to see if it it is necessary. Sure beats having to get a transfusion every 3 weeks. I do take the shot in my stomach as if I were a diabetic. Considering all the other stuff we have to do itis just another something that takes too much time to test and a heartbeat to complete if we need it. I have been fighting this for 17 1/2 years.
Just keep on trucking.... 18's Richard H.
