Newly diagnosed with HCC
The GIST tumors were shrinking out of site thanks to be taking
Gleevec
, a targeted therapy drug. My surgeon could not safely resect the HCC tumor so I am going to have the Y90 procedure. I am happy to have found this group and hope to learn from you.

Why not give Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as Adjunctive Therapy a Try?
Gleevec
was the first targeted therapy drug in the world. It destroyed cancer cells and left healthy cells intact. Before
Gleevec
the five year survival rate for CML was only 22%.
Gleevec
FDA approval (2001) is the shortest on record. TASIGNA was approved in 2007.

Tasigna off label for parkinson's disease. What happens when the smallest kid on the block gets run out of town. Time for a vote.
Before
Gleevec
came out a CML diagnosis was a death sentence. I will not get into statistics, but
Gleevec
more than tripled CML survival rates. TASIGNA was developed for CML patients who did not have a favorable response to
Gleevec
.

Good afternoon anyone, I wanted to seek your opinions on something regarding alcohol and mood. For many many years, I drank a bottle of wine or Prosecco in the evening. It never increased to more. I was hyper aware of what it could potentially be doing to my health. I worked so so much about and

How my AF started...
Question for all the very knowledgeable people on here: Background: I had a Sleeve Gastrectomy (weight loss surgery) in 2012. Extremely successful up until 3 years ago when I began to gain weight but I wasn’t eating more. Then I started having to force myself to be sick after eating just a tiny bit

CML
I have been on
Gleevec
for about a year. I started out on
Gleevec
& had a few problems so my Dr. tried Sprycel. For me, it was a disaster, so we went back to
Gleevec
. I am in remission hematologically & moleculrly.

Still new to all of this!
So far I am responding REALLY well to the
Gleevec
and numbers are nearly to normal range. I was wondering, should I be wearing a medical alert bracelet?

Generics of Glivec
I'm being offered one generic option as an alternative to Glivec. Does anyone know what happens if the side effects of the generic are so severe that it becomes difficult to tolerate? Is it possible to return to Glivec which gives me no side effects?
