Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi, my son has been on Gleevec since age 12 and he sees Dr. Talpaz regularly. He has made several trips to Oregon to see Dr. Druker before Dr Talpaz moved to Michigan. He currently is on 800mg of Gleevec. This is 's first year in College and he has had a tough time with his studies. During his last visit with Dr. Talpaz he mentioned that he has trouble focusing and his grades are suffering. Dr. Talpaz said that there isn't any data about Gleevec causing issues with the mind but I have read multiple posts of others that complain of the same symptoms. We emailed Carolyn at Dr. Drukers office and she reports that they have other patients that have complained of the same symptoms. It is frustrating to be a parent and not know how to help your child. Tonight I had read a couple of posts that described some of the symptoms that others have experienced and he confirmed that those are the same symptoms he is experiencing. my question to the group is, what has helped you work through the mind fog and what advice would you give ?
