Hi fellow CML'ers and Family,

Just wanted everyone to know that due to all the recent findings

regarding Gleevec and Congestive Heart Failure possibly linked to

Gleevec, I went ahead and had an Echocardiogram done.

I wanted to have a baseline and also had concerns because I have

edema issues that aren't remedied with Lasix or Cholorothiazide and a

low salt diet. I take both pills! Crazy Crazy. I think I'll have to

take this stuff forever!

Well, good and surprising news! My ECHO came back completely NORMAL!

That's my good news for the day!

Sincerely, Lynn

Dx'd 12/03

PCRU

400 mg Gleevec
