Re: eyebleeds, and diarrhea

[Guest guest]

Hi MJ,

I think it's the inhibition of the c-kit enzyme (that Gleevec does)

that causes the diarrah. In any case, yes Imodium is the way to go.

Some people have to take it regularly and others like me, can get away

with occasional use.

Take care,

Tracey
