Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hi all, Today I had my 1st eyebleed. I was eating lunch with friends and felt a sharp ping in my left eye and nothing else. When I went to the car and looked in the mirror it was blood red. I called the oncologist and they are clueless. My platelets are fine, so is all of my bloodwork from yesterday. They had just got it back. The Dr on call said I had 2 choices find an eye Dr. asap or go the the emergency room. I told them I felt it was from Gleevec from what I have read here. The oncologist told the nurse for me to stop Gleevec until he sees me Wednesday morning. I called my eye Dr. and she did a through exam and said it was a blood vessel and would clear, but take longer than I will like. For the past two weeks I have had 2 nosebleeds. I have been blessed so far I can't figure out these developments. Personally I don't think stopping Gleevec is at all necessary. But I will do what he says.I have not had grapefruit or anything I can blame it on. I have not been very brave lately.
