Guest guest Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with CML in May of this year. Totally caught me by surprise. I started Gleevec on May 31, 2009. At the end of June my levels were normal. When I went for my next appt on August 28, 2009, my hemoglobin was 5.8. I received a Procrit shot and told to come back in 2 weeks for another one. I called the Dr. the next Thursday and told them to recheck. My hemoglobin was the same but my wbc count was low. The Dr. ordered me off of Gleevec for a week. I go back on Friday for another blood draw and another Procrit shot. My emotions have been up and down with this. I know my hemoglobin is coming up as I don't feel so tired anymore. I am glad that I found this group. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
