Side effects on Glivec

Hi, all

Would be interested to hear if anybody suffers with painful armpits since being on Glivec.  I suffer with this almost constantly (have been on Gliven for just over a year).  Lymph nodes are not swollen.

Many thanks and best wishes to you all

Johannah

Hi Johannah,

No painful armpits for me but I'll keep an eye out for that, but after being on Imatinib for almost two weeks, I've got bad back, joint and muscle ache.  I'm sure if you discuss this with your consultant, that they will have a (probably) simple cure.

All the best

Neil
