Hi,
This message is for the peoople whit CML and Thyroid cancer.
I need to know how your thyroid cancer has been monitored since you've
been treated with Gleevec for the CML.
Basically,
Have you ever used Thyrogen while you were treated with Gleevec? Have
you ever used both ones at the same time?
Have you ever received iodo 131 for the thyroid scan while you were
having Gleevec?
In case you need an extra dosis of iodo to eliminate thyroid remains,
do you think that the radiation could affect the leukemia evolution?
Shortly, doctors are considering carrying out a new thyrogen scan
with iodine , but I have doubts about its effects on the leukemia.
I really appreciate your comments on your personal experiences.
Best regards,
Valeriano.

Hola
Para las personas con cancer de tiroides y CML
Necesito saber como os han controlado el cáncer de tiroides desde que
estáis en tratamiento con Gleevec para la leucemia mieloide crónica.
En concreto:
¿habéis utilizado Thyrogen mientras tomáis Gleevec?
¿habéis recibido iodo131 para el rastreo del tiroides mientras tomáis
Gleevec?
En caso de necesitar una dosis extra de yodo para eliminar restos del
tiroides ¿creéis que esa radiación afectará a la evolución de la
leucemia?
Próximamente se está considerando realizar nuevo control, tal vez con
thyrogen y mediante rastreo con iodo, pero tengo dudas de su efecto
sobre la evolución de la leucemia.
Agradezco los comentarios sobre vuestras experiencias
Un saludo
Valeriano
