She was diagnosed in April 2010, so Gleevec was the ONLY drug for first-line treatment approved at that time.    Still on Geevec and doing OK with minimal side effects.

My son is also on Gleevac 400mg daily & doing very well. Only side effect is intermittant muscular-skeletal pain which can range from very slight to quite severe.
