Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I was surprised when we went to once a month on the CBC's. He said I could come more often,but he felt very comfortable with once a month as I had stabilized so fast and was doing so well. Don't get me wrong, I fell pretty good. Aside from some headaches and some joint pain, I really am feeling great. Lots of strength, though I do get tired and enjoy a fast 15 min nap to rejuvenate. I am near Pensacola, so about 7 hours from Tampa. Chris ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi All this sounds pretty normal for somebody a few weeks into gleevec. I was switched to monthly blood test after 3 weeks. And had also quite bad joint pain for a couple of weeks. If the blood counts were really shooting up there would be a good reason to worry (but there are now other drugs if gleevec fails), 12.9 is very far from that. On the other hand you are doing the right thing in keeping the dr aware of how you feel. Marcos.
