Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I've been on Gleevec since August '06 (198WBC at dx) and have been doing great as far as counts improving with little to no side effects. The problem is, my WBC and neutrophils have kept slowly dropping to the point that my Onc wants me to stop taking Gleevec and get back on the weekly CBC regimen (aka human pin cushion). Tonight is my first night without Gleevec. I've read lots of view points here about those with low WBC and neutrophils, lots of talk about NOT stopping Gleevec dosage and getting a shot of the neupogen. I'd like to hear from anyone who went through the low WBC/ANCs, what they learned, how they are doing, etc. I'm hoping this time off is a one time thing, but my logic tells me if Gleevec is making my counts decline now, why wouldn't it do that in the future when the counts come back up? Thanks in advance for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
