Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi , It's so nice to hear from a man on this issue although I hope you don't have the weight gain problem. You say you have too much appetite. Have you gained weight on Gleevec? [ ] gleevec weight gain I have been reading posts from other people in this group about gaining weight while taking Gleevec.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 , I am so happy to see you on here good for you not gaining. Maybe you will not be one of the gainers. Maybe has affected your metabolism differently than others. Keep us informed on how you are doing.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Dear , Your experience certainly is the opposite of what most of us have experienced...I didn't realize that people lost weight while on Gleevec. I'm happy to hear about your weight loss, but I'm sure it is no picnic not having an appetite and needing to force yourself to eat. Do you feel OK? Is your energy OK??
