Hi my name is Dana and I was diagnosed with CML in 8/23/23 I’m grateful to have Imatinib to take and fight this cancer. The only problem I’m experiencing is swelling of my feet, ankles lower legs and generally all over has anyone else experienced this and any suggestions would be helpful

Hi Dana: Ask your doctor about the swelling. I had bad Orbital Edema through my whole time of taking Imatinib. My eyes always looked swollen, but I did not care because it was working to get me to a remission. I was never given anything for it, but later on I was experiencing fluid throughout my body and had to stop taking it. I stopped but it was 18 years of taking my pill everyday. Maybe you can take a water pill, but like I said check with your doctor. Hope this helps.
