Hi, I don't know the answer -- but since both CML and Gleevec toxicity produce anemia because of marrow suppression, maybe it's not possible to tell the difference. E.g., both would show a low reticulocyte count.
This full text paper on anemia from Gleevec https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajh.23879 shows that other signs such as red blood cell size can vary, so that doesn't seem to help. Sorry.
I was diagnosed with CML and given Gleevec 400 ml. After taking gleevec for 2 weeks doctor took additional blood test. My WBC dropped from 36.5 to 7.1 and all other blood counts came down to normal range. I'm wondering if gleevec could give such fast hematological response or I was possibly misdiagnosed originally. I don't and didn't have any symptoms, my spleen and liver weren't enlarged, no enlarged lymph. Should I get second opinion asap? Please, help me.
t want to see me, that fever was not from gleevec, and that I needed to monitor myself by myself by simply taken ibuprofen. This is what I did all last week and only this Monday he did a blood work.
For now, what can I do to help my body to build my immune system back? Any vitamins? I'll appriciate any advice.
I was diagnosed last year and was immediatley put on gleevec 400mg/day.At my last consult my metabolic stats had risen,hence blood tests to determine if the gleevec is no longer working.I am still in firstphase and wonder what my options are if the gleevec is no longer an option.Amin pretty good form,just very tired and a lot of bone pain.
I have CML and was treated with Gleevec for 4 years and achieved remission. I have for the past several months been experiencing sudden onset of weakness which last for hours, to days. My blood pressure which has remained under control for several years with atenolol has been running 145/105 and higher for the past three to four months. I have a feeling of fullness in my stomach, and I have sporatic episodes of mild coughing, this occurs maybe once a week.
hello,,,,, my2D echocardiography report says ......AML thickning with 12mm MVP without mitral regurge, CAN U EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE?
I have AML and am taking chemotherapy. However, as of the last 2 months, my white blood cell count escalates about 5 weeks after my chemo was last taken. I am developing lumps in my legs and arms which hurt, swells and turns red. They seem to go and come, but find this extraordinarily strange. I need to know if I should take chemo every 4 weeks instead of every 6 weeks as this would prevent my white blood count to escalate to these levels.
My blood test this week had a WBC rading of 84.4.
First degree relatives (such as sisters and brothers) of AML patients have a three-fold increased risk for developing the disease.
I am very sorry to hear your story, and can completely understand your concerns. If you want that girl badly enough, it is probably worth the risk. But of course you must think in terms of what is best for the whole family.
Good luck!

ve had worsening symptoms with a gradual onset of weakness and fatigue in my arms, followed by muscle twitching in my right hand, some numness and tingling in hands, and cramping in the arms and right hand. I have also noticed my right forearm, wrist and thumb are now considerably smaller than my left (I am right handed), and it seems much weaker. Thank you in advance for reading.
i get my heart checked every 2 weeks now and i am fine with the qt thing. i take the chemo pill called gleevec and have to force myself to eat so i dont get sick when i take it. how long will these withdrawel problems go on? i have xanax to take (1mg) but dont work to good. i should would appreciate any advice from any one on how to deal with these issues, family dr says its anxiety but i think its the withdrawels from the high dose of elavil.
