I was diagnosed with CML 2 years ago. I was in remission after a year of taking Gleevec. Side effects are mild. Some days I get nauseated, other days I don't. I have found pretzels help with the nausea.
Have been on Gleevec for CML for 6 years, CML in remission for 5 years. Fatigue is the worst side effect. Muscle cramps a problem but SloMag (slow release magnesium supplement) has helped a lot. The other (many!) side effects are a nuisance but better than the alternative.
My daughter has been taking Gleevec for almost a year now. Blood results are good, infact dr says shes in blood remission. But she has alot of bone pain, muscle cramps, sleeps 12 to 15 hours a day, no energy.
