I am now on Sprycel, but I can tell you that while I was on Gleevec (2 years),

my menstrual cycle was really messed up. I would sometimes have 2 periods a

month and then skip another month. From what I have read, there are a lot of

women who have had difficulty with their cycles while on gleevec. I just

started sprycel a month ago, so I will have to see how this goes now.

I was diagnosed with CML in Sept. 2002. As soon as I started on

gleevec I stopped my menstrual cycle. I was 51 at that time and my

periods had been regular up until that time. I do not have hot

flashes, but I do experience some night sweats. Has anyone out there

had this happen to them, or do you still have a period? I have spoken

with my doctors, do they don't seem to have any answers for me. I

don't miss the periods at all, but I wander if it has something to do

with the medication or the disease itself.

Hi,

I was on Gleevec for six monthy before my period ended and I was 46 yrs. old.

A nurse told me that the drug would put me in early menopause.
