I have cml. Had to go off of gleevac for 6 months due to side effects. Oncologist said it would be fine. Guess if your numbers are ok. I get occasional vacations from my meds when I go crazy,lol. I am now on sprycell.

I have been off of any type of chemo drug for the last 6 1/2 months because of one reason or another and am doing okay but will start back on a chemo drug real soon. And sometimes they will take you off a medication if there is some severe reactions or if you are not fairing well on the medication.

Wow! I was so totally freaked out over one day. I swear I have become so anxious and paranoid over anything health related now. I hate being this way.
Since the odds are so slim of having CML, I envision that anything else is possible to happen.

yes off Sprycel for a month

I have been off Tasigna for almost 2 months because of other health issues. So far, no problems????? I have cml too.
