Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi--Just reporting on my experience with the shingles vaccine. I had the shot this winter. Had my dr.'s approval. Fortunately, I had no side effects. I'm 65 so the age requirement was easily met. Have been on glivec since Nov. 2000; remission since Aug. 2001. Too bad we can't know in advance as to who will react & who won't. Best regards, Ruth Marcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Dear Ruth, That was the same year I was DX, November 2000, however, Gleevec wasn't around my town, and I had no advocate to find a clinical trial in Gleevec. So I ended with Interferon, which did just that, it interfered with my life....currently I am on Gleevec 400 mgs. And I am a survivor!!!
