Always the Mom!!!! Lynn F.

[ ] No alcohol with Sprycel

Dear Jeanny,

When I was on Sprycel, I was advised to NOT drink alcohol. I looked it up for

you and this is the information stated.

Important safety information:

a.. Sprycel may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if

you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Sprycel with caution. Do not

drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

b.. Good luck, sometimes even adult children don't listen to us, but maybe she

will listen to the doctor or the pharmacist if you call them. I think it would

be counter productive if she does. Does she not understand the consequences of

drinking with this drug?

c.. Blessings,

d.. Lottie

jenny, i gona be very frank when you deal with teenagers they wana hear what

they wana hear so you have to at least make it understood that she has a

serious illness that is not without side effects and the meds. she takes as all

of us do, are toxic and alcohol can be toxic : now what is more important?

staying alive or having fun? though she's in the middle of her prime, we want to

see her live . i went through a period of denial and sometimes thats not so

good because you don't take the neccesary precautions to stregnthen your body

for the fight ahead and this is a fight (trust me)I am cmr at the moment and

still I hv much pains i never had b4 awful athsma ect. so yes the meds. are

great but they affect our immune systems and we hv 2 b carefull what goes

into our bodies she's yet young,strong, but she does have cml and everything

she does will affect her so I pray she will listen to you 'cause mama is always

right.

good luck and give her our best, insidently, my onc/hem also told me " no

alcohol, no tylanol,no grapefriut and johnwort and anything you notice doesn't

sit well with youas well.

jenny

there are incredible warriors in this group reading the daily posts has

given me a sence of what cml is and how we have to constantly listen to our

bodies. if the creator allows many of us to live for many more years, we want

to

know she's well ;she will be our future warrior to help others deal with this

bug and she can be an example as so many on this list have been to me. i hv

been in the dark for almost 2 yrs. since i joined the group i now hv questions

to ask my onc. I feel more in control now how is she doing on the medication?

and what are her stats? i pray they are all favorable.

wish her our best
