Can I stop medication?
If I were to start taking Ibrutinib, or Dasatinib, xxxtinib... say for 6 months, and I decided to stop (arbitrarily decided) ... would I have made myself worse... than had I waited, say, 6 months? no symptoms or very slight, WW 4.5 years. 64 yo. I don't mean whether or not one is required to taper off

Questions on imatinib
I was diagnosed with CML in December 2016. I have been on Imatinib since January and am responding very well apart from a few side effects. Swollen eyes, lower legs and night sweats. I got over nausea and acute tiredness quickly. I was wondering if any one else has my problems and if so how long it could

CML & chest pain
Good morning! I'm Nancy, I'm 21 years old and new here. I've recently been diagnosed with a chronic myeloid leukaemia, I'm also anemic, vitamin D deficient and my amylase count is high (but not that high that it's worrying). So I'm here to ask if any of you might have an idea of what I could have on

Medicines to b avoided with Ibnutrib
Got following feedback on various medicine which shouldn't be taken with Ibnutrib: This website gives various interactions associated with ibrutinib. Alcohol avoidance is also recommended. Very importantly, things like Seville orange or grapefruit juice is a no-go. http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements

Imatinib the drug
Imatinib prescribed by medical oncologists. Rs300 a pill gives the doc prescribes a fat discount. "Dr will advise from where to buy". For lieomyama post surgical treatment for three years. The reason is the problem might repeat itself. Besides being expensive, the side effects are deadly. Appear to affect
