Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 first, I'm sorry you had to join our little club! Next, I am curious about what your dosage is for Gleevec. My first doctor played with the doses too much and gave me much to little because he was afraid my wbc would go too low. So, what is your daily dosage?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Dear I speak from longevity, not expertise. I would not worry about a small increase in my WBC--it's just one test. Heck, you could have a little allergy problem, a cut somewhere, almost anything, and your WBC would bump a little. Your main concern is trends, that is, if it keeps going up. I would ask my doc about the repeated drop in RBC's and Platelets. Bob , Granger, Indiana DX 5/1997, PCRU 5/2001 > > I have been on gleevec year 1/2.
