Re: pleural effusions & Sprycel

[Guest guest]

,

Don't be frustrated. I know how you feel I was there just a month ago. Same

thing happened to me. But I did not have three cancers. I am sorry for that.

I just wanted you to know that I am on Tasigna (3rd medication) after

Sprycel. I have been on it for about 18 days now and have never felt better

in my life. So Far!!! I am on only 400mg and my PCR was 0.011 when I

started. I was in PCRU prior to stoppig the Sprycel. Hang in there and you

will be fine.

Take care and remember we are all here for you.

Subject: [ ] pleural effusions & Sprycel

Hi all, I just got out of the hospital yesterday and was told not to take

Sprycel anymore. Fluid in the lungs and I couldn't breath. 2 chemo down how

many more to go? I see my onc next week and she'll make a new decision. I'm

ok mentally. but feeling frustrated, understandably. The thing that gets me

is, I was in or near remission with both Gleevec and Sprycel. Has anyone

ever had Thyroid Cancer? or any other cancer besides CML?

This is my 3rd cancer...fun huh? Well I hope you all have a good weekend.

Thanks for all your help and support.

Peace, Light & Love

Hang in there ,

There are at least two others, (Nilotinib and SKI-606) that work really well

for those people who can't tolerate Gleevec or Sprycel .
