Diagnosed Oct 2013 Started 600mg of Tasigna on Nov 4th. Lowered dose a few months later to 300mg due to side affects stayed here declining PCR until March 2015 small jump from 0.0072 to 0.0083 scarred my doc into full dose of Tasigna again 600mg(been miserable since) but reached PCRU 06/15/2015(next test) and have been there ever since. Hoping to have another little one. I have the support of my doc to go off anytime, just scared to jump. might go two years PCRU but he said it wont make much of a difference. I just figured I could possibly go into a trial while preggers if I got the two years behind me.
Nov 8th 2017 went off Tasigna
Dec 1st PCRU off TKI
Jan 5th PCR Detected .0625
Feb 1st PCR Detected .7815
Added 8-6 grams Curcumin daily in Feb
March 3rd PCR Detected 3.2646 YIKES!
stopped trying for baby after February reading. will start new TKI march 16th 2017 (Sprycel)
FYI I'm not done trying for my last little one.

I don't know if it's the same thing, but I have a salivary stone under my jaw. It was detected by CT scan that my ENT ordered. Mine is too small to cause problems, but sometimes they need to be removed.

Looks like submandibular salivary gland stones. Interesting Snowybear also has them. Fascinating.

ENT or primary care doc if you don't have one. Maybe your primary can make arrangements to have the xray looked at by Radiology.

It is not necessarily fully formed into stones so you could feel it, maybe just a calcification stage. Because the TKI drugs affect mineral usage in the body they could be related.

Hi Frogiegirl, I have had a hole inside my cheek for 4 years now, it doesn't hurt, I showed it to all my doctors they aren't concerned about it I think it might be an exposed salivary gland according to mr internet. My pcp said I could go to a specialist if I wanted to I said no after 4 years if nothing has happened I'm not going to worry about it. It appeared after I was on Gleevac for 3 years.
Don't ignore the possibility of blocked arteries. I don't want to scare you but when I was 44 I kept having these annoying things on my left eye( kind of like a grey shade, it lasted about 5 minutes ) I didn't think much of it but I was having TIAs mini strokes for 5 months my left carotid artery was 99% blocked. They did surgery right away but I was real close to having a stroke even at that young age. I get a full work-up every year now, that artery is now 100% blocked and inoperable so I take meds and I guess my blood is rerouted somehow because I'm still here. It wouldn't hurt to get an ultrasound done on your carotid arterys. The docs don't think about that much when your so young, I was very lucky. Billie
