Guest guest Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Dear All: I just returned from my most recent visit to MD in Houston, Texas. According to them, AMN 107 should be approved in a " few months from now " . They seemed to think that AMN 107 had less severe side effects than Sprycel and counseled me that if I opted to switch to Sprycel to closely monitor the build up of fluid in the lungs. (I am considering switching from Gleevec because I work 60+ hours per week and the fatigue and side effects wear me down.) They strongly counseled me to no switch and that as long as my numbers continue to come back strong, to stay the course as long as I can put up with it. Then they gave me a litany of reasons to stay on Gleevec and not switch. BTW, the person who normally does my BMB was on vacation and the newbie that was doing it only started four days previously. Youch. And if is reading this, my brother did come with me and yes he constantly introduced himself as my " life partner " . Don't even get me started on him playing with the rubber gloves in clinic room. I think you attorneys all have really warped senses of humor. Peace to all.
