So I have been recently diagnosed with CML. I am a healthy 33 year old male.
I am a Canadian, but I have been living in the USA for the last 6 months. During a trip to Canada, I was diagnosed.
My Canadian doctor's preference is to start on Imatinib and my USA doctor's preference is to start on Dasatinib.
I know Imatinib has been around longer, therefore they have more data on it, and my impression of Dadatinib is that it can help you reach the milestones quicker and has less side effects.
Does anyone have any thoughts on which drug I should start on? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
