Lymph nodes

Hi, all
I have now been on Glivec for 16 weeks and my bloods are all fine. I have for the last few days had some enlarged, painful lymph nodes in my neck. I have been to the hospital today and they have arranged for me to have a ct scan done. Has anyone else had these in the past as I am feeling quite concerned.

Many thanks
Johannah

Oh poor you...I can't help you I'm afraid ecept to say NEVER be afraid to ask your Doctor about things that worry you. This is bound to be a worry for you and I do hope you can push for a quick appointment for the scan.
All the best.
p.s. sure someone will swing by to help you soon..

Hi Johannah,
In june Malc, had a ct scan due to raised nodes in his neck and under his left arm- the result of scan did not show any more raised nodes in his torso area, so they took away one from under his arm, and again they were unable to give a reasonas to why they were raised, his consultant was even surprised that no traces of CML were found in the removed node.They were not sure if possible side effect to Dasatinib, but we were told not to worry.
