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.
So, with Lortabs and their tylenol content...4000+ mgs a day can be detrimental to both your kidneys and your liver? I pretty much had an idea this was the case, but for the last year or so, someone very close to me takes this much, and gets sick every time he eats. He also has extreme lower back pain at times, and the doctors at the quick care keep saying it's his back, and give him even more lortabs! Could getting sick after eating mean he as something wrong with his kidneys or liver?
Has anyone else had an almost constant low grade fever and headache on triple therapy? Just 99.9-100.5, It hardly ever goes away and I feel SO much better when it does.
I'm treating for the second time - this time with triple. Finished the incivek 2 weeks ago with high hopes I'd feel better. Didn't.
Had pneumonia right after first starting and a transfusion for anemia, but don't think that those are involved in the fevers or headache.
Yes I get migraines. I usually try not to use Tylenol for them so most migraines I sleep off but some I can't and take Tylenol. Could migraines be the trigger?
So I know it's ok to take Tylenol and nurse my baby and I know it's ok to give my baby Tylenol but does anyone know if we can both take it and still nurse?
I went to the hospital and they gave me 1500 milligrams of Tylenol because I had a 103 fever and serious pain. Gall bladder problems and a virus. You can take Tylenol cold as well when you're sick. Anything Tylenol is safe. If you're unsure ask your doctor:) I made the mistake of taking DayQuil for a week lol and my baby is still just fine.
A lot of times with acetaminophen overdose and liver problems/failure you will have very pale, clay colored stools, and the jaundicing (yellowing) of the skin and eyes. If you take too much Tylenol it can take many days for you to feel the full effects and by then it's too late...your body will shut down 1 system at a time. Did you tell your dr about taking all of that Tylenol?? Please try to take care of yourself. I will say a prayer for you.
Yes it should be my Dr said it was ok and that's what I been using lately cuz of back pain and bad headaches and everything doing fine for me
