Have you developed blisters in your throat after taking Scemblix (asciminib) for CML?

While the search results mention common side effects of Scemblix and other TKIs like skin rashes, mouth sores, and upper respiratory infections, throat blisters aren't specifically listed as a typical side effect. However, this doesn't mean it can't happen.

It's really important to contact your cancer care team right away about this symptom. Throat blisters could be:

- An unusual reaction to the medication
- A sign of an infection (especially if your white blood cell counts are low)
- Related to another side effect like mouth sores extending to your throat

Your doctor may want to examine you and possibly adjust your treatment or provide medications to help manage this symptom. They need to know about any new or worsening side effects so they can address them properly and keep you as comfortable as possible during treatment.

Don't try to wait it out - throat symptoms can affect your ability to eat and drink, which is important for staying strong during CML treatment.
