Is it possible that after taking gleevec for only two weeks WBC droped from 36.7 to 7? All other blood counts are also came back to normal range. Could doctor make mistake in diagnosis of CML? Maybe I should get seg second opinion?

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.

I realize I am no longer in remission and they will reintroduce the Gleevec when my counts reach 500. I fear that I have diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, which is a side effect of the Gleevec. I saw my cariologist 2 years ago and he said I had some slight thickening but nothing to worry about. I am a 44 year old male, 5'9 200lbs (I know slightly over weight).

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.

Am on Gleevec 400mg, now having problems with blisters on the palm. What can I do about it?

Thank you! I will definitely suggest that. His doctor just took him off the Gleevec for a week to see if it is indeed the Gleevec that is making him sick. I guess there are 2 more medications that do the same thing that he might be able to try if needed. I can't imagine that any of these medications come with no side effects, so your suggestion is very much appreciated!!

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 took a clearblue digital test on the beginning of my second week of possible conception and it was negative. Tomorrow will be the beginning of my fourth week. When can I take a test again and it be a reliable answer. I ahve been told that decent levels of the HCG hormone dont show up until about 3 weeks. I am so tired of waiting, I need to know if I am so I can breathe. I also need to know if i am not so I dont have to worry about what medicines to take and what not to lift and etc.

t see it now, I believe this whole experience will actually make you a more well rounded person and you will be better off for it (I know that is the last thing you probably will believe right now and if anyone would have told me that when I first started experiencing anxiety, I would have thought they did not know what they were talking about). You will have setbacks, but that is true with any challenge we face...please feel free to ask as many questions as you like!

I also changed from regular to generic because of insurance, when this started. Of course, mr hypochondriac, me, wonders if it is the generic causing this issues. Look, I know there are others suffering way worse. I just my misery to end. This is horrible.

It has been an interesting process, but I think I have finally figured out the medication issues. Here's the lay of the land: 1. I have always been sensitive to medications; they either work for me or the SEs are unbearable. 2. I have never had any luck when I have been placed on the generic brands of medications. Celexa especially; I was on it for 10 years, tried the generic several times and paid for it. 3. I have also been on Neurontin for the past 10 years.

s had problems with holding her urine. At times it will just come out. She was put on a med. from the Vet. Does anyone know of a generic brand or natural one that will do the same. I can't keep going back paying office visits everytime she needs a new med.

( I just want to ok now when is this going away . It's really hard trying to enjoy my pregnancy . I've tried almost everything to help and nothing has worked .

Anyone know when I may recover fully and especially the jaundice will go ? I am hoping that my immune system is fighting back because as I say I am feeling good in myself and just left with jaundice. Not fatigued now either........thoughts ?

t kicking in like it should I guess you could say. Hopefully the day will go by kinda of quick and I can go home and take a nap. Thank you so much for speaking with me and I'm sorry if I'm rambling on just have a lot of stress and all kinds of thoughts going thru my head right now of what to do and wondering whats going to happen next or when it will happen.
