My liver enzymes went up quite a bit while on Sprycel. Enough to order additional blood work. Nothing remarkable found. When I stopped Sprycel they returned to normal range.
I am sold on the idea although there are common side effects for all TKIs, there are rarely two with the exact same ones. Then when you add in age, overall health, and lifestyle, it just mixes the pot a little more.

Pam,
My liver enzymes went up (1500 ALT and 1300 AST) after 9 months on Gleevec necessitating a switch to Sprycel after they returned to normal. An ultrasound showed no damage to liver and I felt fine.
I was off all meds for 7 weeks and never had a liver enzyme blip on Sprycel. Couldn't agree with you more about common side effects being different for everyone.
