Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Eva: Will keep you in my prayers for your blood work and scan. Just remember that your liver can bounce back to normal function most of the time.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Eva, I really think you should get a new doctor. She is absolutely wrong about the other drugs. We have had a couple of members over the years who developed liver toxicity on Gleevec. Some of them overcame the problem by using Prednisone and others just switched to Sprycel which did NOT cause the same liver toxicity that Gleevec did. If you want to get in touch with someone who switched to Sprycel because Gleevec caused liver toxicity let me know and I'll put you in touch with them. I haven't spoken with them in a while but I do remember that Sprycel worked fantastic with no liver problems at all. Tracey > > She told me that the other drugs available are harder on the liver than Gleevec so there would be no reason to try them. That was not what I was led to believe from everything I have researched. I will know more on Apr. 1st.Thanks for your input. > Eva XXOO > > > From: Shipley > Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 11:11 PM > > Subject: Re: [ ] Re:Liver function > > > > > There are other drugs,why has the doc not spoke of them . > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
