Hi there,
could you post the site that you found concerning side effects with Sprycel.
My husband has been on Sprycel for approx
two years and has had terrific stomach aches. He has had all the stomach tests
and nothing has been found, so the onc decided to
stop Sprycel for a month. Now he is back on it and I have had him on a
vegetarian diet and the stomach aches have subsided.
Still worried about the Sprycel and stomach problems.

Hi everyone. After 4 1/2 years on Gleevec my doctor switched me to Sprycel. I
had continued to have multiple side effects on the Gleevec so in late Nov he
put me on the Sprycel. I really seemed to do better on it but I did notice my
hair was coming out pretty fast. It never did that with the Gleevec. However, I
did develop some pretty severe skin ulcers about 3 weeks after starting the
Sprycel. I didn't think much about it but I found a site about Sprycel the
begining of March and it showed that skin ulcers were a serious side effect. I
showed it to my doctor and he stopped it right then. It states that less than
1% of people are affected with the skin ulcers. I had been being treated for
them since Dec by my regular doctor and not until I found that article did we
put two and two together. My onc was glad that I found the information because
he was unaware of this serious side effect to Sprycel. I am the only CML
patient at this cancer center. Now he is
going to put me on Tasgnia. Wish me luck with it.
