Hello Tom had the same problem, last year I was in the hospital with pancreas and sugar up to 28
almost overnight. I am now on diabetic meds, was on Gleevec, dasatinib and nilotinib, not sure which one caused the problem. but here I am stabbing my fingers and squeeezing enough blood to read twice a day. I get transfused with hgb and platelets couple times a month, so I hate wasting even that little drop (lol) SkipD dxed just after the dead sea got sick.1977 ________________________________ From: "ted...@aol.com" <ted...@aol.com> To: cmlhope@googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 6:51:50 PM Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Switching to Tasigna??? Keith....I was on Tasigna for a while but couldn't tolerate it...It was attacking my pancreas....but this is rare. The drug itself is stronger than Gleevec and generally has fewer side effects. It should definitely be tried. I am now on Sprycel and it is working well with few side effects. I could not take Geevec either...developed a severe skin rash. I would change in a heartbeat!
