My mother is having CML since 2002 and is being treated in Indraprastha Apollo since then.She is currently 49years old. She had been on Glivec(Imatnib)She had been living comfortably but from 5 months some complications have started to occur.She had untolerable acidity and Doctor after these 5 months have started Sprycel on dosage 100mg per day.Sprycel had some more side effects like headache and stomach problem and she was not feeling good. My father then took her to another Doctor in Rajiv Gandhi Cancer hospital Delhi. He told him to give the medicine at alternate days.But even after 15days it did no good. Since four days sprycel have been dropped but the headache problem is decreasing but the stomach problem is increasing.
Even Doctors are not able to tell any Cure about it.
.Please can you suggest something else or should we move on to another medicine so that patient could lead a normal life till 13years that she was leading earlier?
