I need to stop in more often. You all have some really good discussions and are a lot of fun. I never missed wine until I was told I couldn't have while being on Sprycel and due to liver health am afraid to cheat.

 

Has anyone been told to avoid Dextromethorphan? It's in all the really good OTC cold meds. What about certain antibotics or is it all antibotics? So I try to avoid sick people and take Benedryl if do catch one.


DX 1/14; Sprycel 100 Mg, liver toxicity; Sprycel 80 Mg; down to 50 Mg for 5 months. Numbers going up. Back to 80 Mg 10/16 (with 50s slipped in to use up) BCR/ABL: .0047 12/15; .0302 4/16;  .0528 8/16;  .084 10/16; .045, 1/17 back up on 80 mg Sprycel; .006, 3/17; .016, 7/17; Shingles 8/17

I'm on Sprycel, and drink wine (too much sometimes).  I think that it's probably o.k. as long as you continue to have liver function checked with quarterly CMPs, however, you should talk to your doc before making any changes.

I wouldn't think of changing the amount of wine I drink without checking with my doc.  Cheers!

 

Note:  Doc is more worried about the cold meds interacting with my hypertension than with my TKIs.  He recommends I stick with an antihistamine for sinus issues, and Delsym for coughs.


Dx: Sudden severe anemia detected 07/2011, followed by WBC spike. CML Dx 02/2012.

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

Response: PCR-Und within 7 mo. on G400. Maintained MMR4-MMR4.5 on G300. PCR-Und since 02/2016.
