Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) Support Group
Chronic myelogenous leukemia affecst the balance of blood cells in the body, disrupting the normal balance. The cancer cells eventually begin to outnumber and push out the good cells, and could lead to anemia and easier bleeding/bruising. If you or a loved one is diagnosed with CML, this is the community to discuss your experience.
Hello,
I live in Sacramento, CA, and would like to donate a box of Tasigna for someone in need. I experience severe side effect with Tasigna but I am aware that others will tolerate Tasigna without side effects. I hope it is ok to use this forum to donate to someone in need. Tasigna is very expensive and I do not want to throw away.
I am in complete remission at this time and using 100mg of Gleevec.

i just wanted to ask you what reaction you had to tasigna???
my mum had an anaphylcatic reaction to it last night- rash, low bp, high fever, tremors... is this like what you experienced?? she also tried dasatinib and coulnt tolerate that either.. we are hoping gleevec is an option!

I had severe stomach pains and could not eat anything. The pain was constant and I had no relief. I eventually stopped taking Tasigna within three days and went back to Gleevec.
My stomach felt as though it would explode from the inside out. Immediately upon stopping Tasigna, the pain went away.
So sorry to hear your mother is experiencing side effects. I am have reached my one year anniversary in March 2012 in remission using only 100mg of Gleevec.
Good Luck to your mom. I will pray for her.
God Bless
