RE: Re: question while on Syprcel

October 11, 2007

Hi there:

Dr. Druker was the first to tell us that when you have fluid in your lungs--you

will know. When you breathe, you hear it...a sort of wheezing sound. So, it

sounds like your pain is the burning chest pain (almost like really really bad

indigestion?) and not necessarily chest pain because of fluid...?

has not experienced this. I wish we could help you more. I will say,

though, that the first month or so he had some very sudden and strange side

affects, and after a few days they would go away, as quickly as they came. If it

is really bothering you, I would contact your doctor again just to put your mind

at ease, sometimes the worrying about something is almost as bad as the side

affects...

You are always in our thoughts and prayers!

-I am not on Sprycel but I thought that I read somewhere that pleurel

effusion is a pretty common side effect of Sprycel. Since you said that you are

having pain when breathing, I wonder if this could be the problem. If so, I

would definately contact your onc/hema or PCP to have them check for that.

However, I should probably add that I am a huge worry wart so I call the doc

about anything unusual.But since you said that you had a chest x-ray, I would

think that that would have shown up. Sorry, I guess that I am not much

help.Merissa>> I was wondering
