Hello to All
i was diagnosed with CML 5 months ago and have been frequently reading posts in this forum which have been very useful in coming to terms with what the condition causes and possible solutions to the side effects of the meds.
I am also currently under investigation over the last 3 years for possible heart related problems as I have a dilated left ventricle and valve regurgitation. I have been reading that there is evidence to suggest that imatinib may also worsen the condition. Have any of you come across and research or evidence that may be useful for a better understanding of the problems it may cause.
This question has come about because prior to starting treatment my exercise regime was hard due to breathleness but now it’s got to a level where I’m struggling with walking routes I used to run. The progression is still going downwards and it’s becoming increasingly worrying.
kind regards
