Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi its been awhile since ive posted..but im asking for some comfort in the decision that ive made. I was diagnosed nov 02 and went on trial with 600mg. Obviously he wasnt happy as he six months later put me on 800mg. After trial he put me down to six. Since I started Gleevec besides vomiting and diareah I have servere Joint aches. They just dont seem to be getting any better. Well now he is saying I can go down to four tabs but not by his choice but said for me to choose quality over quantity. He is worried though that four wont hold my Leukemia cell and if it starts to go up it wont be so simple just adding the extra gleevec. He is worried it will go to Acute. I came home all disolutioned and although my hubby wishes for me to stay on 6 ive now gone down to four as I just cant cope anymore with the pain that I get...Has anyone else had this side effect or have had same experience with the doctor....I feel now he is doing his own little trial to see whether i stay chronic on 400mg.
