I'm not a drinker and haven't had a drink in months. I started on Sprycel on Aug 6th and haven't had a drink since starting. I'm going out w/ the girls soon and want to have a couple of drinks.
Can I have a drink or 2 while on Sprycel?

First thing I asked the onc: How do we treat this disease?
Second thing I asked the onc: Can I still have my glass of wine with dinner?
The onc responded as I hoped he would.....

Rx: 03/2012-Gleevec400. Reduced 02/2013 to Gleevec300 due to side effects (low blood counts).
