It was last year December 2017 when I was diagnosed with CML with quite similar symptoms as Ciprians. Along with 2 months of history of night sweat which gradually increased, I went for a blood test which showed 42k WBC and 27% bcr-abl, 100% Philadelphia with 2 chromosomes translocated (9, 22). I was quite traumatic to hear that and was put on Dasatinib 140mg OD. which worked for me and all night sweats were vanished in about a month completely. However, my body faced a challenge accommodating the highest dose of dasatinib and started developing intolerance to the medicine. WBC dropped to 1000 and more specifically neutrophils dropped to 500 and so 3 times during the next 8 months of a journey with dasatinib. As a repercussion, my BCR-ABL did not fall to good zero but was around 6.345% which is not a good sign. My Onco reduced the potency of dasatinib to 100 mg which I am taking from mid of September 2018 till date (non-stop). Now, last couple of days, I am feeling the night sweats around my neck and back of head area (The same symptom which occurred during the beginning of disease). Though, the feeling is not as strong but it scares me to assume that disease is around the corner again.
Did anyone had similar night sweat while on any TKIs like dasatinib? What these symptoms could mean? I have my appointment with Onco for next week and at the moment I am travelling. Any clue about what it is shall be really relieving till I get my test done to confirm!
