Night sweats might indicate the cancer is gaining some ground (I would think since that is one of the symptoms...tempory of course just have to increase dose. Same thing is happening with my spleen. Might need to increase dosage just to keep those devils down.
Diagnosed 3/2014 WBC 28 Non detectable within 3 monthsGleevec 400 mg 5/2014 one hour after dinner really improves nausea300 mg 12/15/2016200 mg and 300 mg Gleevec 2/25/2017 (after 3 years on Gleevec) For last four months taking 300 mg per day. Last CMC showed liver enzymes elevated, went to a good Naturopath and he recommended 4 Tumeric, 10,000 mg Vitamen D, and 3 milk thistle (silymarin) daily. Also use One<p>Day Detox Dandeloin tea, and Nettle Tea and a slice of ginger every day...in two months liver tests were below normal.Janis

I never had night sweats - if PCRU is being maintained by tired blood then something else may be causing it, change in other medication perhaps?

Nights sweats are listed as a common side effect of Tasigna and a less common side effect of Gleevec. Nights sweats are one of the few side effects I have not had on Tasigna. I agree with Gerry - at PCRU, there is no way CML could be causing the night sweats
Dx 9/26/16 WBC 28800; platelets 749; FISH 97% PCR 43%
Tasigna 600MG per day
October 2016 PCR 22% IS
November 2016 PCR 5.8% IS
December 2016 PCR 0.1% IS MMR!!
March 10, 2017 PCR 0.006% IS MR 4.22
Tasigna 450MG per day
April 5, 2017 PCR <.003% IS
June 5, 2017 PCR <.003% IS (dose reduction validated!!!)
Tasigna 300MG per day starting June 15, 2017
6-day drug break starting June 20, 2017 due to multiple AE's
July 24, 2017 PCR <.003% IS
September 18, 2017 Negative, AKA PCRU
Tasigna 150mg per day starting 9/18/17
October 30, 2017 Negative
December 11, 2017 Negative

I remember some earlier threads on people having this side effect.
Here is one of the threads http://community.lls...s/?fromsearch=1
You can do a search on night sweat to find the others.

Hem/onc wants to test for Cushing's, i.e. Elevated cortisol levels as my WBCs have climbed back to 17.59K. Actually WBCs and neutrophils have remained elevated in spite of maintaining PCRU for the most part.
