Just what exactly is a Gleevec Moment?

Thanks

Hi ,

No, you are not having a Gleevec moment, I did spend a lot of time

diving on old ship wrecks. These days I am doing more diving in Lake

Champlain. It would be nice if I wasn't restricted to only going

down 33ft because of Gleevec, as there are some really neat historic

wrecks in lake Champlain dating back to the war of 1812. For now I

stay within my limits as far as diving but I also have been hiking on

the various islands in Lake Champlain.

Thanks for asking,

Cheers,

Remember to smile at people, someone may see you and return the favor!

Hi,

for most people, a Gleevec moment is chemo-brain....

forget what you are doing, where you are, etc...

I just went to a Leuk & Lym Society dinner/presentation

last night on cancer related fatigue and cognitive problems....

which they say can be subtle, like not being about to find the

right word, for some people, losing your sense of direction, etc.

they are studying these issues a lot more now.

I think Gleevec moment.....came from the idea of having a

'senior moment'.........

(little things) even words to utter. Perhaps that explains it..

That's a load off my mind. I thought I was going nuts.

Unfortunately I'm getting too many of these moments ... they're

beginning to all string together, making for a Gleevec Life. Help! I

need all the activated brain cells I can get!
