The first week on Bosutinib was so bad that the doctor took me off for two days and then started me back on at 100 mg. and then had some heart flutters (which is weird) so she took me off and did a EKG and bloodwork and haven't heard a thing, my thoughts are that they can get worse but I think that any type of chemo med is going to affect everyone of us differently some harsher than others.

I know you posted this 3 months ago, I just read this...
How are you doing on the new treatment? I started Bosulif about 3 months ago myself and I find that it has been the best for me yet. I would like to hear how it's working for someone else....

Stay strong Marine, Semper Fi. I was just told I have CLL in May, stage 2 with a positive CD 38. No treatment as now but with pos CD 38 don’t think it will be long. Hope all goes well with you.
