Well had my quarterly visit to Western and an older BCR-ABL test came back, the counts are doubling every 3 months. She raised concerns and had more tests done. Got a letter in the post, bcr-abl counts on the rise. How strange is that, having been on glivac for 7 years, and a higher dose over the last 2 years, surely it should come down? Had major panic and imagined all sorts of horrors, and bizarrely started with all sorts of unusual side effects, including a rather large tummy, I look pregnant. Thankfully am seeing doc this thursday for a check up, fingers crossed she sends me home with more knowledge and an alternative!
