Hi everyone!
Thank you for all of your continued love and prayers. I thought I would update everyone as I was not up to talking much over the weekend.
I have to tell you.... either I prepared myself really well, or this Gleevec is candy corn (hehe just kidding!) My friends at CML2 call it our gold!.
The side effects are totally manageable. I feel very blessed to have cancer that is managed by chemo in pill form!
Ok, I need to take my Ritalin I can’t focus right now... another side effect of Gleevec!
Oh yeah I now have short term memory loss... another side effect.
Thanks everyone!
Love you all!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Amber. My husband Rassie was recently diagnosed with CML. We are dealing with alot right now on top that and still working on getting the Gleevec. I am happy to hear about the manageable side effects. We keep getting reassured just how manageable they are by the doctors but its nice to hear it from someone who is experiencing it first hand. I wish the best of luck and will be sure to add you to our prayer list.
Amber & Rassie
