Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I haven't written for almost two years. I was Dx in February of '07 and referred to my oncologist. I had an introductory office call and one more about a month later. I've been on 400mg of Gleevec since the beginning. Last September the doctor did an BMB. She emailed me and said that things looked fine and to keep taking the Gleevec. I've emailed her a couple of times, the last time being in June of this year asking about the need for me to have a CBC blood test. She hasn't contacted me on her own at all. I have had several of the common side effects and am currently having a tough time with skin rashes. If anyone knows of a good treatment for the dry, red, itchy spots please fill me in................when I emailed my oncologist today and asked about the rash she asked me if my dermatologist knew what caused it...............and I was thinking that Gleevec must have caused it and she should have known that.........maybe I'm wrong? Anyway.........my main question is whether or not other CML patients have such a loose connection to their doctor.......or should I be expecting more contact, and more concern from my doctor????? I don't complain much.......maybe that's a problem? Thanks in advance for the replies. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
