chronic myelogenous leukemia
"Praise God for Gleevec/Imatinib.  Discovered the CML in early 2005.  Immediately went on Gleevec 800mg daily.  After a few months, I changed doctors, went to 600mg and many side effects began to ease up.  Over the years we've tried Spricel and another drug but side effects worsened so we are back with Imatinib 600mg.  With the exception of diarrhea, bloating and fluid retention, all is great.  Am into my second month on the generic Imatinib so we'll see.

Again, just so thankful for Meds which control the CML and the doctors who developed it."
