Hello, I am a New member.
in 2009 I was diagnosed with CML and was fortunate enough to be placed on the Spirit II dasatinib trial drug. I was on this drug for 6.5 years, at which time I was in remission with no molecular present and withdrawn from the drug over 12 months. I am very thankful for being placed on this drug as I am currently still in remission.
Over a period of time I have been suffering from palpitations, syncopated episodes (ectopic heart beats), arrhythmia, chest pain, with the last episode relating in an 8 day stay in hospital. I mentioned to consultant that I had been on a trial drug called dasatinib, however he would not even consider the possibility that maybe the drug could have caused some issues. I have been diagnosed with PAF with first degree heart block. I was discharged with the problem being managed with Metoprolol.
My query is whether anyone else has suffered similar episodes.
thanks
