Weight Loss and Gleevec

[Guest guest]

I am a lurker to this group, I read post and I don't question very

often but I have a concern. I have been on gleevec since 2002 and have

had a wonderful response. Last fish and quantative pcr has been

negative. The difficutly is that I struggle with nausea, vomiting and

and other side effects of gleevec, somedays it is so bad I can barely

eat or I have to force myself to eat something. This past year I have

dropped 35 + pounds without trying. My Dr. feels that gleevec is not

the cause and that other things are causing it. Has anyone else

expereinced this? I have seen a GI dr and everything is always normal,

they have no explanation for any of this.

I don't feel depressed, nor do I think it is psychological. I just fell

so ill somedays and it is hard. Any one have any comments or

suggestions that could help me? I am at a loss and really fustrated

with the whole bit.

Thanks for listening
