Re: Re: To the women out there..

I have the same experience, I have ovarian cyst all the time and a constant

ca125 that keeps coming back high. No Dr. seems to have an answer for me, so

after repeated ultrasounds, more bloodwork, a visit to an oncologist/gyn Dr

and more test, they still don't know why my ca125 keeps coming back

elvated... Thus I have refused to follow up any further with that. Its hard

enough dealing with the cml, with out added stress of other stuff. I too

blamed it on gleevec.

If I go off of the pill I have a very painful cyst that reoccurs all the time.

The pain is absolutely unbearable. The BCP keeps it from coming on. I know

it's not advised to be on the pill and gleevec but for me and my peace of mind

and comfort level it's the right choice for me.

Thanks,
