      Treatments

      Gleevec Working / Worked
      I took Gleevec for about three years and it stopped working. Side effects were awful as I am sure you all know. I lost 85 pounds in the first year!
      Sprycel Working / Worked
      I have been on Sprycel for about a year and a half. Wicked side effects which have never lessened. I am in remission.
