Overall Ponatinib has been the best for me but it
Has a lot of side effects and especially for
Someone with heart issues. Hair fell out, skin dry
, eye halos, and others but I'm still fighting on. Faith
And pills my motto. Blessings.

Hi Ana.
I changed from Gleevec to Tasigna 5 years ago.
For me, it played out like this:
The muscle cramps went away, but the fatigue and dizziness stayed.
My fingernails started to grow again, but my hair started to fall out
everywhere where I don't want it to fall out.
For the first two years I
How we knew my drug quit working is my platelets and wbc went into millions and
I got really sick. Mutations. I was on Gleevec for 5 years when it quit
working. Only on Tasigna for a few months then finally talked my onc into
sprycel. Sprycel worked good for 4 years. See chart below. Just
Yes it's bad. I couldn't take it and it made me sicker however some people do
well on it. Ask your onc about Ponatinib. Good luck.
