Hi All,
Its second month in CML & on Disatinib 100 mg
My wife is experiencing acute headache in the evenings from last one week. Apart from this she was previously experiencing pimples and puffiness on her face. Also, her eyes are getting red.
While the pimples have started to settle down, the puffiness is still there and last week was almost one paracetamol a day.
The blood tests show slightly less hemoglobin levels and iron level had dropped a bit more along with vit D.
We are consulting two doctors and one of them said take paracetamol when you have headache and continue with the medicine.
The other doctor has recommended to change to imatinib 400 mg
We were previously told Disatinib would suit our requirements more as we would like to plan family down the line (She has just turned 35). Also, Disatinib has better results. With this new input we are in a fix on which way to go.
We have BCR-ABL test next month. Please advise. SHould we wait on Disatinib or should we change
Super confused.
