Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi , I went through this very same thing. In fact the AM that I ended up in the ER and got my CML diagnosis, I was to see a retinal specialist as I was suffering from the same thing. I was referred by my regular eye Dr as he did not know what he was looking at. The ophthalmologist that took care of my in the hospital said I was only weeks from blindness, had I not gotten help and Gleevec. The Gleevec cleared things right up, in just weeks and my vision is back 100%, to me, better than ever. Have faith in the Gleevec, I bet in a month we hear great reports from you......

He wants me to come back in 3 weeks to see if the Gleevek is working to stop the processes. I'm feeling a little upset and frustrated. This is my 3rd cancer and I'm really getting tired of this!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Same thing happened to me. This was how I was diagnosed. Took a month or two as i recall, to heal (after commencing treatment for the CML which was the cause). I'm sorry this has happened to you but it will get better.
