Re: Blisters - Adrienne- Ana - Barb

On the subject of blisters!

Actually I have small intranasal ulcers which, you might describe as

these blisters. I will probably have them biopsied. But as most of

you know I " cycle " and when I have gone off of IM they go away

completly. I suspect they will turn out to be nothing, and all

though they are quite uncomfortable at times, I sure am glad that

they are not noticeable to anyone else but me!

Cheers,

Cheryl-Anne

> I have had some blisters over the past three years since

beginning gleevec. They come on my right shin. I also had a cluster

in my head, and a small cluster on my neck. They come and go. They

do not get worse. I had biopsies because my oncologist was concerned

but they showed nothing. It is definitely related to Gleevec. They

resemble chickenpox actually. And after they popped up - and

settled down, then they scarred. I now look like I have burn scars.

On occasion they flair up and then subside.

his hands. They don't seem to be associated with any irritation to

the skin in those areas and they pop quite easily. When they pop

they then form a small sore typical of any blister that pops. His

skin is quite fragile and he's had his share of rashes from Gleevec

but he's never had these little blisters before. They don't itch,

but they are rather annoying all the same. We were curious whether

anyone else has had something similar.
