Hi all!Couple more questions.My BCR has risen to 0.55 on 300 mg glivec and my haematologist has said we may change it nxt month to either Tasigna or Sprycel so was wondering which one I should take?
Have been on Glivec for 1 year and the fatigue/depression /anxietyis worse and worse...Would anyone recommend to me best antis for energy?
Am grateful for any responses so just thanking you in advance

Tanya,
Sometimes one is better than the other for different people, but both are excellent drugs.
If you have other health issues, that might drive the decision to one or other.
But all things being equal, I'd prefer dasatinib so I don't need to fast for 3 hours twice a day.

I agree with David. You listed the same troubles I had with Gleevec. Most often, Gleevec people seem to be plagued with muscle and bone pain and cramps, but my complaints were only the ones you listed, plus really horrendous periorbital edema. When I switched to Sprycel, all of this got way, way, way better.
