Hi Marie,

Looks like a few people have given you lots of valuable information, so I don't know what else to contribute except to say that it can take a few months for the body to adjust to the gleevec.  It took me a little less than 4 months to get used to it.  Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, Chriskuo, you are right, many new plans will become available in the next months. I will check it out, and did not know about the Medical necessity drs. can request.

Thank you
