I have just received my latest BCR result and am pleased to report that it remains at a healthy ZERO (that's two years now!). However, I was told of some evidence of liver stress (high enzyme count?) which may be simply due to me having a bad stomach when my blood sample was taken. I will be having another test soon to see if it has returned to normal.
My wife has suggested that I take Milk Thistle which is widely used to help maintain a healthy liver. I wondered if any fellow CML sufferers have any experience of using Milk Thistle or Silymarin. As Imatinib does stress the liver it would seem to be a sensible thing to take.
Does anyone have any relevant experience or knowledge about the compatability of Silymarin and Gleevec?
