Hi,
I have been on Gleevec for 10 months but I can't take it any more do to some nasty side effects. Mainly it was causing high pressure in my spinal fluid which caused my optic nerves to swell.
I would like to hear from anyone who is on Sprycel. I would also like to know how you are doing and any side effects, how long you have been on it, etc.
Thanks,
Chuck
