Guest guest Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Dear Ana, I took Gleevec for 4 years and had a hiatial hernia and G.E.R.D. It was never a problem with either of them with the Gleevec. It's just when it hit the pit of my stomach and began to take effect, I would upchuck everything but my toenails. I take Nexium for the G.E.R.D. The gastroenterologist should talk to your mother's oncologist to see if she needs any meds for the hiatial hernia. Wish her all the best and tell her that we have experienced everything collectively, and we are able to manage just about anything everyone else does. Here is a web site that you can browse in and learn more about hiatial hernia. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/presentations/100028_1.htm Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
