    • I’m With You

      From Jimmyjames June 14, 2008

      I`m so glad to hear your doing so well with the Gleevec.I`m taking 400mg.a day,and my last bone marrow biopsi showed I`m in complete remission.The only side effects I have experienced is a rash and some itching,which has subsided quite a bit.I also "search thr web" for information,its quite helpful AND reassuring to share my situation with others--Good Luck to you--Jimmy in Mesa,Arizona.
