Great to hear your having improvements with Gleevec. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of side effects are you experiencing?

Some of my issues related to the Gleevec (I believe) show up as some GI (loose stools, diarrhea, urgency), fatigue, blurry vision, and possibly some sinus pain/pressure. Symptoms for the most part are manageable. I feel very fortunate that the medication is available to me and has helped in keeping the CML in check. We’ll be having a checkup in a few days to see how things are looking.
