Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi everyone, I was just dx 7/27/06. I had not been sick I just had routine blood work done at my yearly physical and wham, my WB was 131,000. I was referred to a oncologist and life has been different ever since. I am participating in a study group the 400 vs 800mg of gleevec I have been assigned 800mg I started 08/23/06, I was a bit scared thinking that the side effects would be horrible on 800mg but other than some mild nausea on the second day I have had nothing else. I feel great. I am 33 yrs old, I have three children my oldest is 3 and I have 18 month old twins. Since the day I was dx I have refused to think of this as a life long disease I have all the belief that a cure other than BMT will be found soon. And until then Gleevec seems to working well for many people with CML. Hopefully I will continue to not have any side effects.
