Have A Call In To The Doctor; Requesting Opinions!

[Guest guest]

My 19-year-old son was dxed with CML on 7/4/05. He is a

sophomore in college, living in the dorms, about thirty minutes away

from home. Yesterday evening, he called to tell me that at about six

in the evening, he passed out. He was in a counseling class or

appointment--I am not sure which--and first got dizzy, then very very

hot. He left, and thankfully, a friend went with him. Outside, his

knees buckled and he blacked out. I am not sure for how long; he says

not more than a second or two. Someone called an ambulance, and the

EMT's went over him, took his vitals, and asked questions. He did

tell them about CML, and about being on 400 mg of Gleevec. They

finally concluded he was dehydrated, and drove him back to his dorm,

telling him to drink more and get some rest.

So, I am waitng to hear from the doctor's office.

Any thoughts?
