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.
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.
I am a Leukemia Survivor also. What type of Leukemia did you have, and what was your treatment. I have CML, and have achieved a major molecular response through a oral chemo drug called Gleevec.
It does not sound like these patches have anything to do with the Leukemia. I would see a Dermatologist to have them evaluated. I hope that helps you a little bit.
I should mention that I have CML but it has been in remission for the last two years and I am no longer taking Gleevec.
I am scheduled to be looked at by a group that kills the nerve endings in the heart that causes AF but there is an 18 month waiting period.
My question is how many times can I be cardioverted and what is the downside of having it so often?
I'm a 30 year old who is having trouble getting pregnant and I have just started fertility treatment 2 months ago. I am on Crinone, CLomid, and Ovidrel. My husband and I are doing timed intercourse with this treatment. I am so worried that this isn't going to work, but I was curious to know what the sucess rate is with this cocktail of treatment.
Congratulations on trying to conceive! I was being treated with Metformin for my diabetes risk and irregular cycles. For women, Metformin can also make them super fertile (odd side effect) while regulating blood sugars. I'm not familiar with men and fertility issues, so I did a quick search and found this:
Male Infertility & Diabetes
DCS: What about diabetes and infertility as it is related to males? Does it cause fertility issues in men, too?
Dr. Falcone: Yes.
Hi,
wondered if you could help
I suddenly gained a stone in weight went to my doctors and he fobbed me off with im getting old (i was 25) i went back the next month as i had gained another half a stone i eventually got up to 13 stone and freaked and went to the gymn i spent 20 hrs a week for 18 months and lost 7lbs which i gained back 2 wks later i think it was water.
I gave up and gained 2 stone on top through deppression after trying diets and exersize and getting no where.
Lose weight .Exercise daily and indulge in healthy dietary habits. You and your husband should quit smoking and alcohol if you are habituated to it. Have sex two to three days prior to ovulation as it can increase your chances of conceiving. These are the most fertile days. There are many ovulation predictor kits available in the market which can predict ovulation. If it doesn’t help seeking the opinion of a gynecologist will be helpful.
well I don't want to worry you but I also had an HSG and everything was clear and everything else was normal and 6 IUI's later with clomid and still haven't gotten pregnant. The doctor decided that we should check for endo with a lap because even if your tubes are clear the endo could prevent the tubes from picking up the egg..I'd really look into it if I were you just to be 100% sure you are ok..
