Hello all,
I was just diagnosed on Oct 30th, had a WBC 425,000 and very enlarged spleen. I am a 45 year old female with a fairly healthy lifestyle. I started Tasigna on Nov 16th and developed both a rash around my eyes and liver pain after 2 weeks of medicine. My dr said go off for a week. The rash is clearing up but the liver pain is still bothering me. It is not horrible pain but worrisome. My liver enzymes were good and bilirubin only slightly elevated at 1.7. Did anyone have discomfort in the liver area at the beginning?
Another question, what is a realistic timeline of getting back to feeling ‘normal’? My doctor thought by the first of the year I would be feeling much more like my pre CML self.
Thank you for any tips, advice and suggestions. Feeling completely lost in navigating this diagnosis.
