Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 to be honest.....even though we blamed Gleevec & CML for most of Terry's woes.......we only blamed the CML with Terry's " paleness " . He was a healthy robust kind of guy that did get outside some....so, while not tanned & leathered like Hamilton...he was never a " pale " kind of guy. At nearly a year on Dasatinib, Terry is still quite pale, but then again, he is healthier, so therefore " looks " better than he had. But again, that is the disease that is better controlled which I think gives him improved color to his skin. I hadn't noticed that his skin has thinned, but he does bruise easily......in actuality, it is muscle tone that Terry lost the most. That is why I wondered what might be wrong with him....I had grabbed at his upper arm to hang onto while tripping or something, and his arm was very soft & mushy, instead of being a " big strong, muscle-y man " . If I had made a big deal out of it, he probably would have gotten diagnosed about 6 months earlier. Lora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
