Angie, what a time you have had! It must be a pleasure to be off the Gleevec. My platelets and counts were good. The red cells and everything related to them were off. Looks like I have perhaps developed severe iron deficient anemia. I'll be having more labs and tests to try and figure it out. I'm thrilled to be home and I'm from much better.
Seven years of Gleevec destroyed my hair. So wigs for me and I love it. Never have a bad hair day and never have to spend a second on it! Stay well. So good to hear from you.
