Re: Octreotide

[Guest guest]

Hello Terry

I had the same problem when they upped my Nilotinib

(AMN107) to 800mg a day.. I have just started back on

AMN107 Friday. I was cut back to 400mg a day... My

counts are just now started to get back close to

normal my liver count is still a wee bit high but the

rest are close.. My blood counts are still running

low...

but I can live with that..

Hope all goes well with you ... will let you all know

if my Pancreas acts up again ...
