Gleevec and feeling nauseous

[Guest guest]

When I was first prescribed Gleevec I was told it might upset my stomach and

that I should always take it with food and a full glass of water. I've stuck to

this and never had any probs. I take it straight after breakfast and then I can

forget about it for the rest of the day.

By the way, if you listen to that Lottie woman, you could be led to believe I'm

an alcoholic rude-mouthed old baggage. Come to think of it...

Best wishes to all, Shelagh

PS: If you can't face a proper breakfast or food to go with your medication, at

least try to have a milk shake or a smoothy. My partner, who was a nurse, swears

by pineapple juice blended with a raw (free range) egg.
