Which TKIs cause sharts? Just curious, because I had quite the opposite problem with Tasigna. Yet another pleasant effect of being off of it.

tired blood,

 

Just about all the others do, but I've heard Bosulif can be miserable for about 6 months. I've also heard from several other posters that Tasigna can be a bear for constipation.

It's back and forth with Tasigna.
Some laxative should help.

Yes, Tasigna is a bear for constipation.

 

I tried to get points for the word "s-h-a-r-t-s" in the Scramble game on my phone, but it wouldn't give me points for it.  I thought, It is too a real word!  At least in our world.

I read in the literature that "sharts" is a side effect of Sprycel.  I am having a bit of the opposite...
