5 Months Mood
Friday, June 19, 2009
I have been on Gleevec close to 5 months now and am very happy that all my counts have come down and I am in clinical remission.  The side effects stink:  bones hurt and eyes tear a lot.  Doctor put me on Celebrax for my aching bones and I will see an ophthamologist on Tuesday about my eyes.  All in all I am very grateful to be where I am.
