Hi 5 months now since diagnosis, and I’m feeling grateful for nilotinib, as BCR test results started at 136 and I’ve got below 1% now.
It has been picked up that my cholesterol has risen to 7.4 .. and the unfortunately the bad cholesterol is quite high too. My diet is mostly good, & since diagnosis no alcohol, non smoker & not overweight. I am however a bit of a worry wart.
Is there any advice on keeping arteries clear or has anyone experienced similar.
I have faith my in haematologist… & I did ask him if there could be a link between the Nilotinib & the cholesterol, he didn’t believe so. So the only other change for me in the last 5 months is the stress all this has brought about.
Any tips or comments would be appreciated, thank you.
