Hi Jody and yes I had to do this when I first started Gleevec. Your blood will go up and down for a while, but then mine finally got into line. Gleevec quit working for me after 5 years and i was put on Tasigna. I had the same thing happen with my blood again and had to have 2 transfusions. I never wanted transfusions, but someone told me not to worry about them and if my doctor ordered them to go ahead and do them. I did, and now my blood is finally back to normal after 5 months on Tasigna. Don't be discouraged and do what you onc tells you to. .Learn all you can about CML and don't be afraid to ask for help. Blessings and good luck, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/13/2009 1:56:19 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jody0...@yahoo.com writes:
