Subject: [ ] AF - Atrial fibrillation with Tasigna or Sprycel?

 

Is there anyone who has atrial fibrillation and takes Tasigna or Sprycel?

In my case, I have CML + AF + RI

CML= chronic myeloid leukemia

AF = atrial fibrillation

RI = renal insufficiency

my serum creatinine is 130 ---- normal range (6-110)

I took Gleevec (400 mg) since June 2005 and I feel very tired. I want to try

Tasigna.

Note: The typical human reference ranges for serum creatinine are 0.5 to 1.0

mg/dL (about 45-90 ìmol/L) for women and 0.7 to 1.2 mg/dL (60-110 ìmol/L) for

men

Hi Karine,

Yes, I had AF and RI before I started Gleevec.

In 2002, I took VioXX to treat a herniated disc. The following week, I had high

blood pressure and RI. In June 2003, I had AF. In August 2004, I had CML.

Because my platelets were high (1,400K), the doctors thought that I had ET

(Essential thrombocytemia). I was treated by Hydrea and Agrylin. The BCR test

became positive in June 2005 and I started Gleevec.
