Suzan, I'm surprised you weren't placed on Sprycel first. That has been the usual progression after gleevec. I was on gleevec for 5.5 years before I started getting mutations that gleevec couldn't handle. Sprycell is like 300 times stronger. I will say the side effects for me were totally different

I REMEMBERED what I wanted to post! YEAH for "Gleevec brain"!!! Has anyone on Gleevec experienced tinnitis? I have had it since about two months after beginning Gleevec. If you do have it, is there something that works for you? I love my low sound "crickets" but would love for them to go away.
