Major surgery

I need to have major surgery soon for spinal cord compression, not clear of cause as yet.
Has anyone else had surgery while on Dasatinib, and if so was there any blood problems during/after.

Thanks

Hi. 

I had fairly major abdominal surgery when on dasatinib which involved a general anaesthetic. I had a good chat to my haematologist and also the anaesthetist about it all, and it was pretty clear cut that dasatinib was no problem at all. 

The only issue I had was that it was a bit hard to swallow the pills in the days following the surgery. 

There was no weirdness in my blood results afterwards. 

David. 

Thanks David that's reassuring, hope you are well.
