G. sideeffects vs. change to sprycel

[Guest guest]

and Others:

My daughter was all set to switchto Sprycel due to the horrendous side effects

she was having on Gleevec, 800 mg. But a wonderful thing happened....after 18

months she finally went into a 3-log reduction! Those allusive Phillies are

finally succumbing the Gleevec. We are so overjoyed and relieved. Yep, she

still has debilitating side effects but this is about fighting cancer and she is

winning THAT fight. She will continue to try to find ways to have a good

quality of life while fighting this battle. We are overjoyed about the 3-log and

her doctor at OHSU feels she should stay on the Gleevec afterall and we are in

agreement.

And Lottie, I want to thank you again for all the information and support you

provided.

Sue...mom of , age 34, diagnosed 5/13/05, gleevec 600 5/28/05, changed

to 800 mg. late september 2006. 3-log december 2006.
